Very nice place. Great Macedonian exhibits. Not very big, but well organized - somebody can learn things in it.
Our guide pretty much insisted we visit here. The collection is well displayed and well worth your time.
This is one museum where you will not see the top antiquities of ancient Greece but you will see significant and amazing objects (including a huge mosaic about Dionysus which found in a private villa in Thessaloniki,a cube-tomb with beautiful paintings inside it and much much more) through which describing the daily life of the people and their customs in ancient Macedonia.Most of them related to the ancient cemeteries of settlements in Macedonia.This is the second more important archaeological museum in Greece.
NIe exhibits from the wolo region of Macedonia. Gives you a good impression of the different archeological sites in the region.
We visited this museum in January. Even if you don't enjoy visiting museums I am sure you will enjoy this one. Very easy layout. Lots of well lit information boards in big enough writing that I didn't need to be right on top of them to read them.Learnt a lot about Thessaloniki while in there.First Sunday in the month the Museums are free
It is very big and very well presented. You need at least 2 hours.Also don't forget to take combine ticket with Byzantine Museum for save money and 1st Sunday of each month is free both of them :)
Wonderful to visit it and see some of the unique archeological pieces there The statues of classical period and helinistic Macedonian and roman period are unique
This is an excellent museum offering a variety of exhibits including excellent video presentations. The only grumble was that the staff seemed to regard me as inconvenience and one curator followed me through much of the museum making very loud footsteps and glares,
Wonderful collection. You can buy a combined ticket for the Byzantine museum for 8 euros. We unfortunately couldn't visit the Byzantine museum even though we paid. they are right next to each other.
Greece is a gorgeous country. It boasts a fantastic history. And the Greeks are probably one of the most friendly people in the world. But when it comes to civil servants, expect the worst so that you are not disappointed.When the museum says it closes at 16.00, it means that they shut the doors around 15.30-15.40 and that they do not let anyone in after 15.00. Do not expect a smile or an excuse, those people just want to make sure they are gone way before 16.00.
