The museum is next to a large statue of Leonidas 1st who led 300 Spartans and other Greek troops against King Xerxes and the Persians in the defence of ancient Greece There is a modest 3 euro entrance fee which is nothing when compared to the 12 minute 3D video show which explains the battle of Thermopylae and how the Spartans,Thespians and other Greeks wrote themselves into history. There is also a room with interactive information videos Across the road from the museum is a hill with an archaeological site "The Fort of Kolonos" which is where the last remaining members of the Spartans and Thespians stood together guarding the body of Leonidas until they were killed by showers of arrows. There is an Epigram in Ancient Greek (Go Tell The Spartans) on top of the hill A fantastic place to visit
