The Archaeological Museum of Abdera was completed in 1993, and with the transfer of the exhibits in 1997, it opened its doors to visitors. These exhibits come from excavations that began in 1950 by the Archaeological Society, under the direction of Dimitris Lazaridis, and later by the Antiquities Departments of Komotini and Kavala. The exhibition spans from the 7th century BC to the 13th century AD and is divided into three thematic sections: public life, private life, and burial customs.
During the excavations, a large number of figurines, religious vessels, reliefs, and coins were found in the city and its cemetery. Clay vessels, lamps, spindle whorls, cooking utensils, and tableware provide insights into the private lives of the ancient Abderites, as well as their professional activities, religious life, and daily routines. However, the findings in the tombs are particularly impressive, as many contained skeletons along with burial offerings, including jewelry, pottery, cups, weapons, toys, and more.
By visiting the museum, one can discover much about the life of the Abderites, which began in the 7th century BC and continued with many fluctuations over the following centuries.
