Overview
Opened in 1962, this is northern Greece's largest archaeological museum, spanning Macedonian artifacts from the Neolithic through Roman eras. Highlights include golden treasures from the tomb of Philip II at Vergina (ancient Aigai), the Derveni Krater - regarded as the finest surviving bronze vessel from antiquity - and lavish gold crowns and jewelry. Seeing artifacts tied to Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, brings the glory of ancient Macedon vividly to life. Admission about EUR 8. 5-minute walk from Sindrivani metro station (Line 1).
