Thessaloniki's White Tower to serve as museum
Thessaloniki's trademark White Tower will officially serve as a museum, beginning next year with a permanent exhibition on loan from the nearby Byzantine Museum. A multimedia platform within the the Tower's circular walls will also allow visitors the opportunity to view the city's 2,300-year history on video walls. The White Tower, located on the northern port city's sea wall, will reopen to the public with the inauguration of the exhibition in mid 2007, officials said here on Wednesday.
