ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF ALMYROS (Code: )

The Archaeological Museum of Almyros is a neoclassical building that was founded in 1910 and opened to the public in 1925 after the tireless  efforts of N.I. Giannopoulos and the Philarchaeos Society “Othrys”. In 1940, when the 2nd World War broke out, the museum was closed and was not opened until 1976 when an exhibition was created by professor G. Chourmouziadis. In 1980 the building of the museum was destroyed by an earthquake. In 1997 the reconstruction of the building was completed and in 1998 the renovated museum opens again to the public. The  new exhibition of antiquities was organized by the scientific staff of the Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities and induces exclusively  finds from the part of Thessaly which was called Achaean Phthiotis during the historical era.
