PELLA (Town) GIANNITSA
The building of the Archaeological Museum of Pella was intended for
a tourist pavilion. However, following changes to the interior of the building
in 1973, the finds from excavations in Pella were housed there. The current exhibition
was organized in 1988 and includes the following items on display: a variety of
artists' concepts, copies and moulds of artifacts, photographs, as well as topographic
surveys and architects' designs - all providing historical information about the
finds. The collections of the museum include artifacts discovered all over the
area of Pella, from residences, the agora, and shrines. Sections of inlaid floors
are also included.
Some of the most important exhibits are:
•Marble head representing Alexander the Great
•Mosaic floors detached from private residences
•Hoard of silver coins (Hellenistic period) and mintage by Macedonian Kings.
•Bronze statuette of Poseidon
•Moulds for the production of relief clay vases
