The Thessaloniki Archaeological Museum

Go for the Gold

Just reopened in July of 2006 after a three-year renovation, this dazzling collection is a must-see for visitors to Greece's "northern capital" of Thessaloniki.

Don't miss:

A new exhibit showing a plait of hair and rich grave clothes from a young woman's burial; many gold artifacts from Alexander-era tombs; tomb reconstructions.

Usual Museum Hours:

Monday 10:30 - 3:00

During Summer: Open Saturday and Sunday, 8:30-3:00

Important: Recently, Greek authorities have been extending posted hours of some key attractions during peak tourist periods. These additional hours are usually not noted on the websites and travel agents and hotel desk clerks may not know about them. Don't decide that you can't go until you directly verify that the museum is really not open the hours you need that day.
