Archaeological Museum Review

The unpretentious, single-story white structure gives no hint from the outside of the treasures within. A superb collection of artifacts from Neolithic times; sculptures from the Archaic, classical, and Roman eras; and remains from the Archaic temple at Thermi all reside under this roof. Objects discovered during construction of the Egnatia and Thessaloniki-Skopje highways were added in 2005 to the collection, which is displayed in eight galleries. "Thessaloniki, the Metropolis of Macedonia" traces the city's history through artifacts and a multimedia collection. "Towards the Birth of Cities" offers remains from settlements from Kastoria to Mt. Athos that date to as early as the Iron Age.
