Established in 1967, the museum was housed in a small building belonging to the Physical Education Administration.

Archaeological finds from the Early Bronze Age (3000-2500 BCE), Late Bronze Age (2000-1200 BCE) and Early Iron Age (1400-1000 BCE), as well as from the Hellenistic, Ancient Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods are on display.
