Think museums are dull? Not appealing to children?

Think again! In Crete, there are two museums dedicated to school life, and they're anything but boring!

In Rethymno, the School Museum offers a nostalgic dive into the world of education. There’s a full exhibition space, a teaching simulation room, a library-archive, a schoolyard, a garden, and even a small animal enclosure. It’s not just about looking—it’s about experiencing.

In Chania, the Museum of School Life caters to all ages, with hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity and connect with a wide range of interests.

Pack your curiosity and prepare to go back to school—Cretan style.
