Through the findings exhibited in its three showrooms, the visitor can see Paro's history from the neolithic to the protochristianic times. Among them distinguish the mosaic that shows one of Hercule's deeds, items from Cyclades Islands, the statue of Niki from Paros and of George, and vases from excavations in the residence on the hill of Koukounaries.

It is roofed under the church of Ekatontapiliani. It hosts rare byzantine icons and sacred heirlooms. The icons of the collection are dated from the 17th and 18th century and are typical of this period's style.
