Abstract
The main ideas behind the re-exhibition of the permanent collections of the Museum and the use of digital media are presented. For the first time in the Museum, the re-exhibition is supported by digital means. The Museum has focused on touchscreen displays together with mobile devices for organising and supporting the visitors. The Museum tablet application presented, allows the user to get a multilingual integrated approach for each item on display. The plans of the museum are focusing on augmented reality applications running on visitors’ smartphones. It is also shown that despite the restricted nature of the museum artifacts (fragments of stones with partial inscriptions) digital presentations can be successfully created, if complementary combined information from other archaeological fields and published research is employed.

The conservation of the inscriptions and the order of their location in galleries 11 and 9 were coordinated by the head of the Laboratory of Conservation Stergios Tzanekas and the conservator Theodoros Mavridis. The bases and the presentation of room 11 with wooden partitions were designed by the architect-engineer Nikolaos Kyriakopoulos. The general coordination of the works was done by the architect-engineer Dr. Marianna Savrami.
