A new museum showcasing thousands of ancient archaeological artefacts found at sea will open next year at the Greek port of Piraeus near Athens, officials said on Monday.
The EU-funded museum -- the largest cultural project currently underway in Greece -- has a budget of more than 93 million euros ($97 million).
Culture Minister Lina Mendoni said the new 26-square-metre (6.8-square-metre) building would display "thousands of finds emerging for years from the depths of the Greek seas", without giving further details.
Besides archaeology, the museum at the country's largest port will also highlight Greece's rich shipping history, she said.
