Thessaloniki Museum of Cinema

The Thessaloniki Museum of Cinema is located in the port district in a large warehouse and displays cameras, projectors, and film equipment from different time periods. The space also holds an extensive collection of film photographs, vintage movie posters, and archival materials from Greek productions.

The museum was founded in 1995 as Thessaloniki prepared for its role as a European Cultural Capital. Over time, it expanded its holdings by integrating important collections, including the Nikos Bililis collection, which increased its scope.

The museum displays photographs and posters from Greek films that show how cinema developed in the country. Visitors can see the creative work behind these productions and understand the role of film in Greek cultural life.

The museum is located in the port area and is easy to reach when exploring the warehouses by the water. Plan to spend one to two hours to explore the exhibition thoroughly and examine the items on display.

The museum holds an extensive film archive with detailed documentation of Greek films spanning several decades. Researchers and cinema enthusiasts can discover rarely found materials about the history of Greek cinema here.
