Natural History Museum in Heraklion, Crete

Heraklion Museums - The Natural History Museum in Heraklion, Crete is a valuable part of the University of Crete. Its main objective is to study, promote, and preserve the natural history environment of Crete and the eastern Mediterranean region. This museum is home to four fascinating exhibitions: zoological, botanical, anthropological, paleontological-geological, and mineralogical. If you visit the Heraklion location, you can witness rare images of rural Crete through small and large screens and gain a better understanding of the direct link between human occupations and the natural environment.
