This is a lovely, air conditioned building! It's laid out very nicely for you to travel through Byzantine times. I particularly loved the collection of icons and jewellery. There are people in every room if you have questions (or to keep the rowdy tourists in check!)

Very informative and pleasant experience. Signs in Greek and English. Staff is amazing and engaging — will answer any questions you have. If you’re going to see the White Tower and the Archeological Museum, I recommend buying the pass that is for sale at the museum.

This is a wonderfully laid out museum containing a large variety of Byzantine artefacts. Its permanent exhibition is presented over about 11 rooms in this specifically designed, easy to navigate, atmospheric yet modern building. There are some truly beautiful icons and mosaics on view. Each room is dedicated to a particular aspect of Byzantine culture. The first covers the early churches while others present topics such as castles, emperors, graves and the various collections that were bequeathed to the museum. The information is displayed in English & Greek. The museum is highly impressive and informative and gives superb insights into the Byzantine Empire and Era. There is also a small cafe/restaurant in the building. Well worthy of a visit.

It's great museum with a/c. The expositions are quite interesting but it's only 11 rooms. Which take around 1 hour to see everything at relaxed pace. The gift shop is a bit disappointing as there isn't much to choose from and some of the things were very expensive. I recommend buying combined ticket for multiple museums.

Interesting museum, tells the story about Byzantine Empire. You'll probably need around hour and a half to see everything since it's divided into 11 rooms. Good for a sunny afternoon in Thessaloniki.
