Unforgivable that the Chania Archaeological Museum has been closed for a year and a half in preparation for its opening at its new Halepa location. A perfect example of Greek bureaucratic incompetence and bungling. Couldn’t this move have been coordinated better??? And yet its sad little gift shop continues to limp along at its old location. It also remains to be seen whether any tourists will ever be able to find the Museum at its new location.

Fairly interesting, I expected to see a bit more but the building itself is great and the outside area was fantastic. Entrance 4 euros, there is a toilet too.

It's a little bit small place but displayed precious very ancient times exhibitions. honestly I recommend you go to Archaeological Museum of Heraklion. but if you don't have enough time or stay west side of Crete, you should stop by here! it takes within 40 mins.

The museum itself is very small and the wealth of contents limited, though it is a worthy stop if you're in Chania: there are a couple of interesting roman mosaics and the roman glass collection is very good. Some of the pieces cannot be photographed (about 30% of the collection) as they claim they have not been published yet! The museum attendant only let somebody know when a person attempt to take a photograph of those items with a snotty remark "read the small printed description"! A better deterrent would be to put a red A5 sign "do not photograph"! All in all it is about average!
