Archaeological Museum of Ioannina, Archaeological museum in central Ioannina, Greece.
Description
The Archaeological Museum of Ioannina displays artifacts from both coastal and inland Epirus in seven exhibition halls arranged around a central corridor. The collection spans objects from different periods, showing how communities lived and developed across this region.
History
The museum preserves objects spanning from the earliest evidence of human presence to the end of Roman rule in the region, covering more than two hundred thousand years. This long timeline shows how human life and societies transformed over immense stretches of time.
Culture
The sanctuary of Dodoni forms a central part of this collection, with votive offerings and inscriptions that show how people in ancient times sought divine guidance and made offerings to the gods.
Practical
