The Archaeological Museum of Volos houses finds from Thessaly spanning from the Neolithic period through the Geometric era. Its collections include jewelry, household items, and tools recovered from the ancient settlements of Dimini and Sesklo.
Established in 1909, the museum was created to preserve finds from early excavations throughout Thessaly. It documents the archaeological record of the region from its earliest settlements to classical times.
Clay figurines, agricultural tools, and burial arrangements on display reveal how people lived and honored their dead in ancient times.
The museum features two separate spaces dedicated to rotating exhibitions of recent discoveries from the region. Educational programs are available for groups, making it accessible for school visits and organized learning activities.
Reconstructed Neolithic dwellings from Dimini and Sesklo stand on the museum grounds, showing how ancient people built and organized their homes. These structures give visitors a tangible sense of daily living arrangements from thousands of years ago.
