historical museum of crete印象

Despite the Folk Art on the second floor which was charming, this is a dull museum. It has a pleasant cafe' looking out to sea, where you can rest your legs!!

In a building that used to be the house of Kalokerinos, a great benefactor of Heraklion the modern building attached to the classic building shows the effort to meet our history through our modern eyes. Visitors can have a look at our history and, i believe is a "must to visit" place in Heraklion. Also you can try the small cafe-bar at the north balcony of the building with a nice sea view.

The museum has a good collection of exhibits illustrating the history of the island. Photography is allowed.

Our 2 year old had plenty of things to see and do. At the same time plenty of interesting thing for us. Four levels with different displays. Lots of local interest items as well as the dinosaurs.

Clean, tidy and well laid out. Covers Cretan history comprehensively - ancient but also through to Byzantine era, Venetian, Turkish; War of Independence; and through to WW2. Also houses the Nikos Kazantzakis collection.

Would recommend to anybody who is in heraklion to pop in. Great collection of artifacts ! They have minoan, classic greecian and some roman pieces.

This museum has many interesting displays and art works from the Byzantine time to the 20th century. The latter is a display about World War II. Unfortunately more attention is given to graves of Nazi soldiers than the Jews that they deported to their deaths. In the earlier period, they talk about how many Jews lived in Heraklion and have stones with early Hebrew inscriptions. Ottoman Empire is also well represented. This has an elevator, which is welcome.

Spent an afternoon their and learned so much about Cretan history, its links to Venetian history and historical ownership are fascinating, it was 10 euros to get in and over 4 floors, if you have any interest in Cretan history, you’ll love this place.

Enjoyed to see the place. Everything was very well organized and easy to find, not too much. The historic rewiew of El Greco was interesting and made me want to know more about this person. And the outside garden wit a cup of coffee to relax was also good. Here you can sit down if you want a break. Very nice and clean place.

I find that it is sometimes difficult, as a foreigner, to get a grasp on the post-classical history of Greece, because so many of the museums and featured sites are ancient. The Historical Museum of Crete is a good way to acquaint yourself with some of the history that you don't always get. At 5€, the ticket is a little pricey for Greece, but the museum is well done. It's broken into separate sections: there's on one the history of Herakleon itself, complete with 3D model; some nifty Byzantine and Venetian sculpture, as well as a working Ottoman fountain; a room that tells the history of coinage, and includes artifacts like a Nazi medal from the invasion of Crete; a room about George II, last king of Greece; a walk-through exhibition on the experience of Crete during WWII; an ethnography room with costumes and other artifacts (and maybe a slightly white-washed explanation of Ottoman Crete); and a Kazanzakis shrine, er, exhibit. The English placards are all very accessible, and there's a lot to see. I think the most comparable experience is the Benaki in Athens. All in all, it was a good way to spend an hour or so in the morning, and good to start thinking about how modern Greeks -- Cretans in particular -- actually think about themselves rather than just looking at 2000-year-old sculptures.
