Museum of the Royal Tombs in Aigai, Archaeological museum in Vergina, Greece
The Museum of the Royal Tombs in Aigai contains burial chambers and artifacts found within a reconstructed tumulus at the archaeological site of Aigai.
The discovery of royal tombs in 1977 by archaeologist Manolis Andronikos revealed the burial site of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, from 336 BC.
The museum exhibits gold jewelry, weaponry, armor, silver vessels, and ceramic objects that represent the craftsmanship of ancient Macedonian civilization.
Located 75 kilometers from Thessaloniki, the museum operates from Wednesday through Sunday between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM during summer months.
The museum structure integrates into an earth mound, maintaining constant temperature and humidity levels to preserve the ancient royal tombs and their contents.
