Archaeological Museum of Drama: Guided by the God Dionysus

Drama, GR Get Directions

From the nomadic hunters of the Middle Palaeolithic period (50,000 BC) to the first patriarchal societies of the Bronze Age (3000-1050 BC) and the powerful gene of the Early Iron Age (1050-700 BC), life in Drama has always been inextricably connected to the land.

The small but well-structured Archaeological Museum of Drama perfectly stages the passage from one era to another, with special reference to the representation of the household of Neolithic farmers and the particularities of their daily life. The close association with the god Dionysus, on whom the inhabitants relied, not only for their prosperity but also for their protection, is no coincidence.
