Archaeological Museum, Heraklion, Crete ~ Archaic Period
The Heraklion Archaeological Museum is one of the greatest museums in Greece and the best in the world for Minoan art, as it contains the most notable and complete collection of artifacts of the Minoan civilization of Crete.
The Minoan Art that I photographed in this museum is collected in this album: flic.kr/s/aHskm9FCX5

Overview of rooms in the museum:
The museum, as it is now, is completely renewed. Old information about rooms and their numbers are still not updated, not even in Wikipedia. They mention twenty rooms, and their names, but there are 27 rooms, XXVII
Maybe wiki will update their page soon, as it is in October 2015, it is not updated.

This serial of photos offers an impression of details of the collection of other era's than the Minoan Art.
The Archaeological Museum in Heraklion has been completely renewed. Lots of amazing information can be read next to art objects in the museum.
It is not allowed to use flash when making photos. This, and the many visitors made it hardly possible to make really sharp photos in some seconds.
My camera is a rather cheap one and creates curved lines.
Some photos are not sharp, but I kept them anyway.
Altogether it has been a deeply impressing visit, moving, deeply moving because of the mystical, spiritual, mental and emotional depth of the Art.
Often I edited the photos in several ways. Or cropped them, to attract the attention for details.
Enjoy the collection.
