Heraklion Archaeological Museum

The Heraklion Archaeological Museum is a museum in the Cretan city of Heraklion. It is one of the greatest museums in Greece and the best in the world for Minoan art since it houses by far the most important and comprehensive collection of artifacts from Crete's Minoan culture. In English, it is commonly referred to as "AMH" (for "Archaeological Museum of Heraklion"), a term that is still occasionally used by the museum itself. The majority of the items from Knossos and other Minoan sites on Crete are housed at the museum.

The Heraklion Archaeological Museum is a Special Regional Service of the Ministry of Culture, with the mission of acquiring, safeguarding, conserving, recording, studying, publishing, displaying, and promoting Cretan artifacts from the Prehistoric to the Late Roman periods. The museum hosts a range of cultural events and organizes temporary exhibitions in Greece and abroad. It also interacts with scientific and intellectual institutes.
