Filip
Great museum with nice collection on display. Museum was free of charge when we visited, on a Sunday. Display cases are numbered but it is not easy to keep on track. Visit on first floor is not worth the detour. Their restaurant served brunch so we sat outside on the terrace for a drink.

This very new museum is a real gem! It's modern style and well laid out presentation is both beautiful and appealing. The show cases are well organized with easy to follow descriptions. It presents time lines of the area through prehistoric times to the Roman period. As a ancient history buff this museum was really perfect for me. Beautiful displays and excellent, friendly staff. It is also worth the time to view the private collections on the second floor. There is a free parking lot at the left side of the entrance. It is wheel chair accessible. Highly recommend
Poppy
Newly purpose built museum with lots of ancient items to look at which are clearly labelled and neatly displayed. Lovely cafe with a terrace and a small gift shop. Plenty of parking when we were there.
Richard
Excellent museum! Building looks new. Parking is on-site and free. Ticket price is €15 per adult which is more than some places but is absolutely worth every penny! Extensive inventory of exhibits going back to pre-history up to the Roman period. Lots and lots of pieces, videos, audio clips.... Staff were all forendly and helpful. Visiting exhibits very interesting too. Cafe upstairs is reasonably priced and serves good coffee and cake. 👍 You will be transported through time for at least two hours. If you are in west Crete you should really visit here.

It is an absolute treasure trove of history and culture. Nestled in the beautiful district of Chalepa, the museum’s architecture alone is worth the visit—modern, elegant, and thoughtfully designed to reflect the layers of civilization it houses. Inside, the exhibits are beautifully curated, offering a fascinating journey through Crete’s rich past. From Minoan artifacts to Roman relics, each piece is presented with care and context. The layout is spacious and intuitive, making it easy to explore without feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommend spending at least two here during the day skipping beach on 30C summer days.
