This museum offers the history and heritage of the largest of the Greek islands. A gallery of art and exhibits focus on the religion in Crete. These exhibits consider the Greek Orthodox traditions as compared with Ottoman and Venetian ways of worshiping. Agriculture and economy is discussed and art such as jewelry and sculpture are shown. Architecture is also focused on and the daily life of Cretan people can be learned. This is another great Heritage museum which preserves Cretan heritage for visitors. I came away with questions from the website that this historical museum was actually a heritage museum. The exhibits preserve the traditions and customs of Cretan culture. Can a history museum also be a heritage museum? Why are some museums considered only heritage? Do you think a history museum can also be a heritage museum?
