Athanassakio Archaeological Museum of Volos is in Volos, the capital of Magnesia.

Created in 1909, the Archaeological Museum of Volos is one of the oldest museums in Greece. The museum building was built thanks to a donation by Alexios Athanasakis from Portaria village in Pelion, which is why it was named after him, "Athanassakio".

In the museum you will see archaeological findings from all over Thessaly, dating back to the Paleolithic period up to the Roman era. Among its exhibits special attention is drawn to the fine funerary written columns of the 3rd century BC that have intense traces of color. Also, in the halls of the museum you can see Neolithic tools, pottery and jewelery as well as findings from ancient tombs in the area. Occasionally, various temporary exhibitions are presented in the museum, each with its own interest.

A visit to the Archaeological Museum of Volos will give you an idea of the region's history.
