The conference will be hosted at the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, which is located centrally, and within easy walking distance from conference accommodation.

Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki: The new permanent exhibition of the Museum's collections comprises five thematic units, presenting various aspects of the culture which developed in Macedonia, primarily in the Thessaloniki area and neighbouring prefectures, over a long chronological period - from the dawn of prehistory until late antiquity, i.e., until the first Christian centuries. The museological approach of the museum is human centred and attempts to recreate the life and times of the people who once inhabited this part of Greece through the findings of 5 thematic exhibitions:

The new permanent exhibition in the area surrounding the Museum invites you to tour, both literally and metaphorically, a part of the ancient city in this presentation of antiquities and continues the history narrated within the Museum in an effort to breathe life into Roman Thessaloniki's ordinary protagonists. Titled "Field, House, Garden, Grave" this exhibition of Roman Antiquities is a passage through burial monuments and by a civil house with impressive mosaics.

"The Museum has first to be embraced and loved by its own city. Citizens have to sense it like a large public house, a place where they experience culture" says the Director of the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, Mrs Polixeni Adam-Veleni.
