The Heraklion Archaeological Museum is one of the largest and most important museums in Greece, and among the most important museums in Europe.

The singularly important Minoan collection contains unique examples of Minoan art, many of them true masterpieces. The Heraklion Museum is rightly considered as the museum of Minoan culture par excellence worldwide.
