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….

We were recommended to get a combined museum ticket at the white tower (15 Euro) Glad we did as not sure we would have selected the Archeological museum to visit otherwise - it was worth the visit. We thought it would be a quick visit but we spent almost 3 hours here. Great museum with huge collection of statues and artefacts. Displays are organised by periods and clearly explained (English as well). Plenty of displayed video and interactive screens. We visited noon on Sunday and the place was almost empty so could really enjoy spending time reading and examine pieces. Highly recommended (unless history is really not your thing). Coffee shop + Gift shop also available.

One of the great archaeological museums of greece. Exhibits artifacts from Paleolithic tools to roman times. The clay figurines collection is very nice but the hall with the gold artefacts from the macedonian times is breatgtaking. Especialy the golden wreaths. All this gold... Althow i usually find the audio/visual adds boring the hall with the digital screen at the end of the museum was entertaining. The museum is fearly big and some times overcrowded from the displayed artefacts leaving the viewer puzzled (but nothing like the national archaelogical museum in athens). Overall a great museum to visit. Don't miss the byzantine museum just on the next block

A wonderful museum filled with amazing artifacts of historical and cultural importance. Please note: it's a fairly large museum with several exhibits and each exhibit is rich with information and things to see - you could easily spend a half day or more studying the intricate details of the many hand crafted artifacts from the funeral digs alone. Very much worth visiting to see first hand the many layers of history in this area alone (though Greece is pretty much like this everywhere - it's incredible how many cultures have come and gone in a single region). Thessaloniki is a "young" city with thriving social elements, but this museum is worth seeing!

1. Thessaloniki archeological museum is situated centrally and we'll within many other museums and within walking distance of white tower. 2. The front desk is really helpful. Make sure you hand over your heavy luggages to the locker so that you can roam around the museum freely. 3. A flyer from the front desk will help you to install the museum app, which will give audio tours for selected display items. 4. Many interesting pieces including many ceramic items, sculptures, jewellery and remains of an embalmed lady is on display. 5. Prepare to spend around 3 hours of fun filled day if you are ready to enjoy the history to the fullest.

Ο σχεδιασμός του κτιρίου έγινε από τον επιφανή Έλληνα αρχιτέκτονα Πάτροκλο Καραντινό, σημαντικό εκπρόσωπο του μοντέρνου κινήματος της αρχιτεκτονικής στην Ελλάδα και έχει κηρυχθεί από το Υπουργείο Πολιτισμού ιστορικό διατηρητέο μνημείο και έργο τέχνης. H ανέγερση του Αρχαιολογικού Μουσείου Θεσσαλονίκης ξεκίνησε το 1960 σε οικόπεδο 17 στρεμμάτων σε κεντρικό σημείο της Θεσσαλονίκης, στην Πλατεία Χ.Α.Ν.Θ., σε άμεση γειτνίαση με το χώρο της Διεθνούς Έκθεσης. Το κτίριο χαρακτηρίζεται από έντονη οριζοντιότητα, είναι λιτό, απλό και λειτουργικό, εμπνευσμένο από την αρχιτεκτονική οργάνωση της αρχαιοελληνικής κατοικίας στην οποία οι χώροι οργανώνονταν γύρω από ένα εσωτερικό αίθριο. Ο σχεδιασμός μουσείων είναι ένα από τα πολυάριθμα κτιριολογικά θέματα που απασχόλησε επανειλημμένα τον Καραντινό, καθώς πίστευε πως αποτελούν ένα συμπλήρωμα της παιδείας και για αυτό θεωρούσε αναγκαία την ίδρυση τους σε όλον τον ελληνικό χώρο. Με βάση το παραπάνω σκεπτικό ήταν υπέρ της χρονολογικής σειράς παρουσίασης και της υποχρεωτικής διδακτικής διαδρομής του επισκέπτη στους μουσειακούς χώρους. Απέρριπτε το «πιεστικό πομπώδες εξωτερικό» παλαιότερων μουσείων που φάνταζαν σαν μια «μεγαλοπρεπή και επιδεικτική φυλακή έργων». Οκτώ ενότητες συνθέτουν την εκθεσιακή πρόταση του Μουσείου, μέσω της οποίας ο επισκέπτης έρχεται σε επαφή με τον κόσμο της αρχαίας Μακεδονίας, τον πολιτισμό και τους ανθρώπους της. Περιλαμβάνουν πολυάριθμα αντικείμενα που χρονολογούνται από την προϊστορική εποχή μέχρι το τέλος της αρχαιότητας. Προέρχονται από ανασκαφές που διενεργήθηκαν σε όλη τη Μακεδονία από το 1912, έως και σήμερα: 1. Προϊστορική Μακεδονία 2. Προς τη γένεση των πόλεων 3. Η Μακεδονία από τον 7ο αι π.Χ. ως την ύστερη αρχαιότητα 4. Θεσσαλονίκη, Μακεδονίας μητρόπολις 5. Ο χρυσός των Μακεδόνων 6. Αγρός-Οικία-Κήπος-Τόπος 7. Μνήμη και Λίθοι 8.
