The museum is once again opening its doors to the public following an extended period of renovation work required for the reorganization of the spaces used for exhibits, storage, conservation, and administration. During this period, apart from the extension of the museum building itself, the most significant and essential part of our efforts was completed: the new exhibition of the museum’s collections was planned and carried out in a way that responds to the needs of the modern-day visitor.

Our aim is to illuminate various aspects of the culture which developed in Macedonia, primarily in the Thessaloniki area and neighboring prefectures, over a long chronological period: from the dawn of prehistory until late antiquity, i.e., until the first Christian centuries.

And so, we invite you to visit the Museum. Come and listen closely to the histories it has to tell, to see and hear how the objects “write” history. Moreover, we invite you to come to experience and enjoy everything a modern museum has to offer the public: educational programs, exhibitions dealing with both ancient and modern civilization, workshops, lectures, seminars, and recreational events.

The Museum of Thessaloniki is a place of culture and learning, open to everyone!
