The Archaeological Museum of Kea was founded in the 1960-1970s to house the finds from the oldest research projects and excavations on the island. These include the collections of the archaeologist Konstantinos Manthos, the old excavations in Karthaia, etc., as well as the material from the excavations of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in the prehistoric settlements of Kefala and Agia Irini. Subsequently, during the years of 1997-2002, the building was renovated and the important finds were re-exhibited by the then responsible authority for Kea, the First Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities.
