Thessaloniki is home to some of the most important museums in Greece. The Archaeological Museum houses the greatest achievements of Macedonian civilization. The Museum covers the entire centuries-old history of the area. The visitor can walk amongst outstanding masterpieces of the ancient world, from deep prehistory up to the first Christian years. The Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki was founded in 1912, immediately after the liberation of the city.

The Thessaloniki Museum of Byzantine Culture, the State Museum of Modern Art together with the Folk Museum of Macedonia-Thrace are all guardians of this age-old culture and have made a great contribution to the city. One of the most important museums is the Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki.
