The Archaeological Museum of Thera

The Archaeological Museum of Thera, located on the island of Santorini, Greece, showcases the rich history of the region, particularly its ancient Minoan civilization. Established in 2000, the museum houses artifacts from the famous archaeological site of Akrotiri, a prehistoric settlement buried by volcanic ash around 1600 BC. Visitors can see exquisite pottery, frescoes, and tools that provide insight into daily life and artistic achievements of the people who lived there. The museum not only highlights the significance of Santorini in ancient history but also enhances our understanding of Aegean cultures.
