Historical Museum of Crete, Crete Overview
The Museum, founded by the society of Cretan Historical Studies, highlights Crete's collection of art and history from the 4th century AD up to the second world war. The museum's finest exhibits are two paintings by El Greco, born in Crete: The Baptism of Christ and View of Mount Sinai, the only works by the artist now on Crete.
Another outstanding exhibit is a replica of mid-17th century Heraklion, at the time when the city reached its peak under Venetian rule. The Nikos Kazantzakis Collection is particularly interesting, featuring the study and library from the author's home in Antibes, France, personal effects, manuscripts of his works, first editions of books in various languages, etc.
