New Archaeological Museum of Chania

Its exhibits offer a timeless portrayal of the cultural history of the Prefecture of Chania, spanning from the Neolithic era to the years of Roman rule.

The exhibition is divided into two main sections. The eastern part showcases artefacts from the late Neolithic era and the Bronze Age (Minoan times). In the western part, you can explore antiquities from the Iron Age (historical times). The artefacts are organised and presented through excavation sets and thematic units.

The museum's collections encompass a wide array of artefacts, including Minoan findings from the city of Chania, prehistoric discoveries from caves, Minoan artefacts from different regions of the prefecture, items from tombs dating back to the geometric period, historical era findings from Chania and various other cities within the prefecture. Additionally, the collections feature coins, jewellery (both from prehistoric and historical times), sculptures, inscriptions, columns, and mosaics.
