Archeological Collection of Kozani
About This Museum
People don't just stumble upon the Archaeological Collection of Kozani; they come here to trace the footsteps of ancient Macedonians beyond the well-trodden paths of Vergina and Pella. Tucked away on a main street in the city center, this museum feels like a local secret, revealing a rich regional tapestry woven from prehistoric tools, classical pottery, and stunning Roman mosaics. You get an intimate look at daily life and death through personal artifacts—a delicate gold wreath from a noble's tomb, a child's terracotta toy—that feel remarkably immediate. It’s a quiet, thoughtfully curated space that connects you directly to the communities that thrived here long before the modern city.
Collection Highlights
The star is undoubtedly the breathtaking mosaic of Dionysus from the region of Aiani, his figure vibrant and complex. Don't miss the serene marble head of the goddess Aphrodite or the impressive hoard of Hellenistic and Roman gold jewelry, which gleams with ancient artistry.
