The Archaeological Museum of Chalkis is housed in a preserved neoclassical building from the early 20th century in the center of Chalkis, on Eleftheriou Venizelou Avenue and close to the beach, the railway station, and the Municipal Market of the city.
The collection of the Archaeological Museum of Chalkis presents mainly monuments from Chalkis and the neighboring areas, but references to the rest of the island are also present. The exhibits mainly come from archaeological excavations of the Archaeological Service, fewer from donations, while noteworthy is the donation of the private collection of the legal-political figure A. Economou.
The exhibition, which unfolds in the three halls of the ground floor of the Museum, is organized chronologically and covers the entire long history of Chalkis from the Middle Paleolithic period,100,000 years ago, up to the Late Roman period, the 4th c. AD.
