Archaeological Museum of Pella

Reviewed By Velouria101 - East Sussex, United Kingdom

We visited the site at Pella first to avoid being outdoors in the hottest part of the afternoon (it was 38 degrees) and didn't feel that was a disadvantage. This lovely museum brings the site into vivid life, packed with superb artefacts that are incredibly well-preserved (we loved the little figurines that still had their pigment after millennia in the ground) and very intimate - you get a real sense of life for the ordinary citizen, as well as the rich (who are of course well-represented with splendid and exquisite gold burial wreaths and jewellery. ). The standard of craftsmanship on even the most everyday objects is truly incredible. Sadly due to COVID having effectively killed off Greece's whole tourist season, we had the whole museum to ourselves, which though an incredible privilege also felt wrong. This place should be buzzing with visitors, and I'm sure that under normal circumstances it would be. A special mention to the lovely friendly lady in the museum cafeteria, who on top of our much-needed toasted sarnies, presented us with a delicious free plate of peaches and fresh figs, which were absolutely delicious. Thank you so much.
