Archaeological Museum of Drama
About This Museum
People don't just stumble upon the Archaeological Museum of Drama; they come here with a purpose, to connect with a past that feels both distant and intimately local. Stepping inside is like opening a book on the entire region, from the first stone tools chipped by human hands to the sophisticated world of the Roman era. The star of the show is undoubtedly the life-sized reconstruction of a Neolithic house, an immersive experience that instantly transports you back 7,000 years. You leave not just having seen old objects, but with a tangible sense of the lives lived in this very soil.
Collection Highlights
The breathtaking 'Elephant of Doxipara' skeleton and its associated funeral carriage is a true showstopper. Equally compelling are the intricate gold wreaths and jewelry from Mygdonian graves, which shimmer with ancient artistry and status.
