Museum of Prehistoric Thera
The Museum of Prehistoric Thera supplies the objects and historical context that make the archaeological site of Akrotiri easier to understand.
Why visit
The museum presents finds connected with prehistoric Thera, including material from Akrotiri. It works especially well immediately before or after the archaeological site.
Allow context time
Do not treat it as a rainy-day substitute. It explains everyday life, art and the development of the prehistoric settlement in ways that are difficult to see from building remains alone.
Visit information
Museum opening information
The Museum of Prehistoric Thera is in Fira and is a logical companion to Akrotiri because it displays important finds from the excavations. Check current hours and closure days with the Ministry of Culture before making it the fixed point of a short itinerary.
