Abstract
The Archaeological Museum of Thassos, first built in 1935, the oldest museum in northern Greece, acquired a new wing during 1989-1999, funded by the Archaeological Receipts Fund and the European Union. The new permanent exhibition was materialized during 2003-2009, with funding by the Third European Community Support Framework. Today, the Museum covers 2.376 m2 with fully renovated exhibition galleries, conservation workshops, rooms for study and storage. Due to its central position in the modern capital of the island, next to the ancient Agora, the Museum meets the demands of a wide spectrum of visitors by shedding light on the historical role of the island from the prehistoric to the byzantine years. It provides a complete picture of the facets of life in the ancient city-state of Thassos, a thriving ancient Greek city.
