Thessaloniki War Museum opened in October 2000. It is housed in the building designed by architect Vitaliano Poselli and erected between 1900 and 1902.

The museum’s mission is to act as a base in Northern Greece for events organized by the War Museum in Athens and to help preserve historical memory and heritage in Northern Greece. Through its permanent exhibitions and various dedicatory exhibitions, the museum emphasizes the continuation of the Hellenic race throughout history, while simultaneously contributing to the documentation of the history of Greece at war.

The permanent collections show events which were a watershed in Modern Greek history from the turn of the 20th century to the liberation of Greece from German forces at the end of World War II. They include photographs of the times, Greek army, air force and navy uniforms, weapons of the Greek army, replicas of artillery and ships, works of art, stone engravings, maps, paintings, postcards, and similar items from the armies of other Balkan countries.

These exhibits give insight to the Balkan Wars, World War I, the Asia Minor Campaign, the Greco-Italian War, the Battle of the Forts in eastern Macedonia, the Battle of Crete, the Occupation and the Resistance, the part played by Greek forces in Allied action in North Africa, Italy and Normandy, as well as the liberation from the forces of occupation.

In addition to exhibition spaces, the War Museum has an amphitheatre, a multi-purpose hall and well-stocked library of writings on history and war. Furthermore, all Ministry of Defence, Department of Military History and War Museum publications are on sale at the...

Charming, detailed, informative and (maybe weird to say about a military museum) fun! Yes, as others have pointed out, some of the displays don’t have English translations, but Google translator has a handy point-and-read camera function, so…

We all love a vase or a statue - but Greek history isn’t just about the ancients. It’s meaningful to get an idea of the resilience of the Greek people and what they have faced and overcome as they built their modern nation.

The museum has great, life size dioramas with actual uniforms and gear, extensive supplemental collections, and a detailed overview of military history from the ottoman occupation through WW2.

The special exhibit on WW2 chanteuse Sofia Vembo (also part of the resistance in the 60s-70s) was especially charming, and I downloaded a bunch of her songs when we got home. It was really nice to see a female honored in a museum with such a masculine focus.

The War Museum is well worth a visit for anyone interested in Greek history - not just for the military-minded....
