There are plenty of statues View of the City Kalamata, Peloponnese, Greeceand pieces of pottery from ancient times that are still in excellent condition. One of the really cool features about the Archaeological Museum of Messenia is that for the ancient statues that have essentially become puzzle pieces over time, the museum mounts the pieces against the wall, and then fills in the gaps through imagery so that the visitors can see what the statues would look like had they not been destroyed over many, many years.
