The Archaeological Museum of Thebes is one of the most important museums of Greece since some of its collections are rare or unique. The exhibits originate from excavations all around Boeotia and cover a long chronological period spanning from the Palaeolithic to the Post Byzantine periods.
Thebes (/ ˈθiːbz /; Greek: Θήβα, Thíva [ˈθiva]; Ancient Greek: Θῆβαι, Thêbai [tʰɛ̂ːbai̯] [2]) is a city in Boeotia, Central Greece, and is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It is the largest city in Boeotia and a major center for the area along with Livadeia and Tanagra.
Several rescue excavations and less systematic work in the area of ancient Thebes yielded an abundance of evidence for the city's history and art. However continuous occupation and the presence of a thriving modern town over the ancient remains rendered impossible a full investigation of the site.
Some of the most important historical sites in Thebes is the Mycenaean palace, the Isminion temple devoted to Apollo and the Cadmian Gates. The temple of Ismenius Apollo was one of the most important temples in ancient Thebes, and was on the hill of the same name, southeast of the ancient city.
Thebes was one of the most influential ancient cities of Greece. It is inhabited from Neolithic times and its heyday was in the Mycenaean period. Many remains of the ancient city are visible around the modern city, along with few parts of its fortifications build with big boulders on natural rock.
The Archaeological Museum of Thebes, one of the most important museums in Greece, is home to unique and rare finds, including the famous cylinder seals that were discovered in the "Treasure Room" of the Mycenaean Palace at Thebes and the painted clay larnakes discovered at Tanagra, the only found in mainland Greece.
