Museum of the Battle of Crete and the National Resistance
The Museum of the Battle of Crete and the National Resistance was founded by the Municipality of Heraklion in May 1994.
The museum's aim is to collect, preserve and exhibit relics from the period 1941–1945 in an appropriate manner, as well as to document and disseminate information on the people's struggle during the Battle of Crete and the subsequent German-Italian occupation.
In addition to presenting a range of material witnesses to the past, the museum aims to cultivate interest and respect for the history of Crete. Currently the museum is closed, and a transfer to a new location is in progress.
