The Museum of Ancient Greek, Byzantine, and Post Byzantine Musical Instruments

Ladadika

About

What is it about music museums The small one in Athens is one of that city's finest, and Thessaloniki has its own appealing music museum. The three floors of this one house beautifully displayed reproductions of stringed and wind instruments, along with marvelous photographs of instruments from ancient vase paintings or Byzantine manuscripts. Purists may object to the predominance of reproductions here, but the reproductions give viewers a good sense of what the actual instruments looked like. Music sometimes plays softly in the background, the cafe is sometimes open, and if you're lucky, a concert will be scheduled here during your time in Salonika. Allow an hour.
