In the city center of Ioannina lies the Archaeological Museum of Ioannina.
The Archaeological Museum of Ioannina was built in the '60s in order to house the archaeological treasures of Epirus. Originally, it also housed Byzantine findings and paintings; exhibits that now are in the Byzantine Museum and the Municipal Gallery respectively.
Today, at the 7 rooms and terraces of the museum, visitors can admire findings covering the period from the Stone Age to the Late Roman period ( 3rd century AD). Each room of the museum has a different topic. So, analytically per room we have the following:
- Room 1: Prehistoric Epirus
- Room 2: Political and administrative organization of Epirus
- Room 3: Aiakides, the kings of the Molossians
- Room 4: The daily life of the people of Epirus
- Room 5: The Archaeology of Death
- Room 6: Epirus in the Roman era
- Room 7: The shrine of Dodona
The last room houses findings from the archaeological site of Dodona, where there once was one of the most important oracles in Greece, the world-famous oracle of Dodona.
