It is dedicated to the ancient city of Ambracia, the colony founded by Corinthians in 625 BC and nowadays lays under modern Arta. Ambracia became and remained throughout its life the civil, commercial and political centre of ancient Epirus.

Two small units in the beginning and ending of the exhibition function respectively as an introduction and epilogue of the tour.
