@WeGuide gr Arch Museum Heraklion 2017
WeGuide you to the Archeological Museum of Heraklion which hosts a collection that makes it one of the most important Museums in Europe in its field.
The Archaeological Museum of Heraklion provides a unique opportunity for the visitor to marvel at the findings of the first of civilisation in Europe, the Minoan civilisation.
Join our tour as we guide you through the ages, in a period of time that extends over a 5.000 years, from neolithic to roman era.
Come and discover with WeGuide, the treasures of the past of Crete. Find out how Cretan people used to live, their occupation, religion, architecture, travel, arts etc.
The Heraklion Archaeological Museum is one of the largest and most important museums in Greece, and among the most important museums in Europe. It houses representative artefacts from all the periods of Cretan prehistory and history, covering a chronological span of over 5,500 years from the Neolithic period to Roman times. The singularly important Minoan collection contains unique examples of Minoan art, many of them true masterpieces. The Heraklion Museum is rightly considered as the museum of Minoan culture par excellence worldwide.
The museum, located in the town center, was built between 1937 and 1940 by architect Patroklos Karantinos on a site previously occupied by the Roman Catholic monastery of Saint-Francis which was destroyed by earthquake in 1856. The museum’s antiseismic building is an important example of modernist architecture and was awarded a Bauhaus commendation. The colours and construction materials, such as the veined polychrome marbles, recall certain Minoan wall-paintings which imitate marble revetment. The two-storeyed building has 27 galleries, a gallery for audio-visual displays, extensive modern laboratories, a cloakroom, a cafeteria and a museum shop that sells museum copies, books, postcards and slides.

Experience
The light of Crete, mountains, it’s history, ruins its beaches and countryside what better way to experience with We Guide.
Everything here speaks now, as it did centuries ago. Of illumination,of blinding joyous illumination. Light acquires a transcendental quality …it is not the light of the Mediterranean alone, it is something more,unfathomable, something holy.
Here the light penetrates directly the soul, opens the doors and windows of the heart, makes one naked, exposed isolated in a metaphysical bliss making everything clear without being known.
The rocks themselves are even quite wise mad even as they have been lying for centuries exposed to this divine illumination ..lying very still and quiet,nestling amid colored shrubs in a blood stained soil …a soil of centuries of civilization,history,revolts and love of life..Experience Crete!
