While many outstanding archaeological
finds from Santorini will be found at the National Archaeological
Museum in Athens, the Historical and Cultural Archaeological
Museum of Santorini in Fira contains artifacts from
excavations on the island ...
It was built in 1960 by the Ministry of Public Works
in order to replace the old museum (built in 1902),
that had collapsed during the earthquake of 1956.
Noteworthy are a fine collection of geometric red and
black vases from the fifth century BC Inscriptions
are plentiful among the displays in the museum and a
certain amount of Minoan ware is also on exhibit.
The museum also hosts impressive frescoes as well as
sculptures of the Hellenistic period, Byzantine works
of art and even some remains of prehistoric times. |
