The Cheronea Archaeological Museum’ construction began at the expense of the Athenian Archaeological Company in 1903, and was completed in 1907. It is located in the east entrance of the city of Cheronea, next to the Leontos tombal monument which was erected by the Thebians on the mass grave of their Sacred Band, who fell during the battle by the same name that took place in 338 BC.
Following the 1981 earthquakes, the building sustained severe damages to its roof and external areas, which were worsened by the bad weather conditions in the 1980’s. The public’s access to the museum was finally prohibited in 1995.
