Archaeological Museum of Drama

The Archaeological Museum of Drama, opened in 1999, is located in a modern building and showcases the cultural history of the surrounding area from the Middle Paleolithic Era (approximately 50,000 years ago) to the early 20th century. The exhibits include bones and stone tools from the cave at the springs of the Angitis River, as well as artifacts from Neolithic settlements such as those at Sitagri and Arkadikos. Key findings from the Bronze and Iron Ages are derived from graves discovered in the wider Drama region. Among them stand out a marble bust of the god Dionysus, samples of Attic pottery from the 6^th and 5^th centuries, and a treasure of coins from the time of Philip II, King of Macedonia. The museum also displays a bronze statuette of Zeus and a tombstone of Tiberius Claudius Maximus from the Roman period. Additionally, the Paleochristian and Byzantine eras are represented through various coins, ceramics, and a stone solar clock dating back to 1069 AD. Overall, the museum serves as a significant cultural attraction for the Drama region.
