Archaeological Museum of Pella — Attraction in Pella Municipality

What a fabulous museum! We went to the Archaeological site first, which I think is the recommended order to visit. I have to admit I am not normally interested in coins/pottery/jewellery when visiting museums but I found the artifacts at this museum just fascinating. I think because they were excavated from the site we had seen, it was all in context. The exhibits are beautifully presented and clearly documented. The staff are very helpful and friendly and answered all our questions. We visited in the evening and had to go back the following morning as we hadn't seen everything. The temporary exhibitions were also excellent. We probably spent 3.5 hours in total in the museum and 1.5 hours at the site. Can also recommend the ice cream at the cafe!! Highly recommended,...

My wife and I visited a few different museums while we were on vacation last Sept-Oct in Greece, with this one in Pella being the standout. Unbelievable interesting history, classical artefacts, beautiful historical building, and heaps of information about Pella and of course King Philip and his son Alexander the Great. As a Greek Australian this was an experience I'll never forget as I studied 'Hellenic history' at Greek School over 5 years and to now physically visit and see it with my own eyes was something else. We arrived by car from Thessaloniki mid morning with plenty of parking available. A must if your ever in Nth Greece / Thessaloniki. Highly recommended...
