The best €4 spent it was fantastic travelling back in time. I didn't think to take my earpods, so please remember to slIp them in your pocket/bag so you can follow the download. So much to see
I suppose when you think about European history and art and architecture, you will think about Greece. Or about Alexander the Great and this place had a huge trove of information to share.
It was also ironic that most of the lovely treasures were off their history tombs….which is not surprising as our historic knowledge is based on that.
Which reminded me that the European culture pillaged the rest of the world from their land, people and resources. That they even realised the values of the tombs and the likes of civilisation of the world and pillaged them and took it to their own museum to show them. Now that is civilisation!
Which was not the case here, just saying….

The museum is very large, rich in exhibits and information. You can spend few hours there if you are passionate about this topic. The price is very good!
For what is worth, this must be the one of the best museums I've been in. Astonishing display of ancient histor, right here in front of your eyes, makes you grasp and feel so much awe. This is a must go place if you ever visit Solun/Thessaloniki. For 8 euros you can get 2 or 3 hours worth of value.
History and mythology are intertwined in ancient Greece. This museum contains a nice collection that depicts both to shine a little light into life in ancient times around Thessaloniki
Entrance fee is 8 Euros.

Kind and helpful personnel. Great amount of historical and archeological findings. Informative descriptions and illustrations both in Greek and in English. If you want to read everything you would probably need 5-6 hours at least.
Beautifully displayed archaeological museum, one of the largest in Greece. Gold and artifacts from ancient tombs dating well over 1000 years. Don’t miss the Field of Gardens outdoors (no tickets required for outside).
