Florina's modest two-storey archaeological museum tells the story of the city and surrounding region through prehistoric, classical, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine times. Expect detailed exhibits on daily life and traditions in ancient Macedonia and beyond, look out for stone reliefs adorned with Macedonian horsemen and haunting 1st-century-BC graves carved with the faces of those buried inside.
