English: The Museum of the History of the Ancient Olympic Games opened its doors in 1888 as the syngreion, a place designed by F. Adler and W. Dörpfeld and paid for by a benefactor, A. Syngros (hence Syngreion) as a place to display the artifacts of the excavation. When it reached capacity and began to decay a new Archaeological Museum of Olympia was constructed about 1/3 mile to the NE. The Syngreion is to the west of Kronion Hill. After a period of abandonment the "old" archaeoligical museum was refurbished, renovated, and opened its doors in 2004 under its current name.
