What an incredible museum experience! Highly recommend! One of the best museums I've been to in a very long time. Exhibits were impeccably curated, with wonderful English translations. The layout encourages you to experience history in the timeline it happened while providing delightful descriptions. The lighting of the exhibits was also brilliant and allowed you to take glare-free photos of your favorite artifacts.

A very beautiful museum. With a superb exhibition of archaeological discoveries, in particular Knossos. I recommend for anyone who loves history and archeology. The upstairs part was closed when there was due to the earthquake. But it was a great visit.

So someone who is invested and interested in Archeology, this is a great place to visit. For myself, it all starts to look the same after a whole. I recommend going at opening because there was a short 15 minute wait time, and the line after us just kept growing. The staff was on the ball for social distancing before getting into the museum, but once in the museum, it was basically a free for all.

Great museum with many nice displays showing how the Minoan civilization developed through the 1500 years of existence. We liked the many information boards which gave us ample opportunity to read the Minoan story like a book. We had to wait a bit before being admitted. The coffee shop has nice coffees and good shadowy places to sit.

The museum is good but it's overfilled with just too many items, especially pottery, in the end you just get tired of seeing similar things again and again and you just want to leave. They could have removed a good 30% of the artifacts so the visitors could have a more meaningful visit without getting very tired. As an example I was surprised to see a statue with no hands,no legs, no head, only the torso was there, definitely not worth exhibiting. Despite me focusing on the negative aspect it still is a "must go destination " for every tourist.
