Description:
Since its establishment in 1962, the Museum has accumulated holdings representing archaeological ages. Its acquisitions include different pieces of antiquities which the Museum preserves, conserves and renovates. The objects are displayed in a chronological order starting from the Stone Ages and have been gathered mainly from the Department of Antiquities and the University Department of Archaeology digs and excavations. In addition, some pieces were purchased or offered as gifts. At the same time, the Museum plays an educational role, since it is used as a training vehicle for students from the Department of Archaeology.
