You're standing at the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki. Take a look at the building itself. No marble columns or temple front here, just modern architecture. It was designed by architect Patroklos Karantinos and is seen as an example of modern Greek architecture. The museum opened its doors in 1962. A nice twist, really: a sleek modern building filled with treasures thousands of years old.
