Is there a museum dedicated to Alexander?

I have never heard of such, but there are three locations that hold the best info about him:

Aigai (modern Vergina) and Thessalonika, Greece, are the two most important capitals of the Ancient Macedonians, where exist many monuments that show what happened from the moment Phillip II got to power in a ruined state, until Alexander the Great went to war.

Alexandreia and Siwa, Egypt, where he might be still buried, and the local museums have the best of what Alexander the Great and his successors left behind in terms of monuments.

Finally, the last place to visit is in Pakistan, where the last people who claim to be descendants of Alexander the Greats' troops like the Kalash, live and practice many of their ancient customs. Some sort of a living museum...
