ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF IOANNINA-EPIRUS

2008, ΤΟ ΑΡΧΑΙΟΛΟΓΙΚΟ ΜΟΥΣΕΙΟ ΙΩΑΝΝΙΝΩΝ

The book is a guide to the Archaeological Museum of Ioannina which houses a large number of objects from all over Epirus in Northwestern Greece and which cover a long period of time from the Palaeolithic age to the Roman imperial times. The archaeological findings are exhibited in the Museum in sections, which are intertwined in three axes - chronological-geographical and thematic. Adopting a modern approach to the cultural remains of the past, the visitor of the Museum is invited to follow, understand, but also to reflect on the evolution of the various aspects of the public and private life of the ancient inhabitants of Epirus. One room of the Museum is dedicated to the sanctuary of Dodona and a second to the king of Epirus Pyrrhus.
