ABOUT

The Museum of Cretan Ethnology was founded in 1973 in accord with the aims and objectives of the Messara Cultural Association, and is based in the Community of Vorous in the District of Pyrgiotissa (Regional District of Heraklion).


The exhibition is divided into ethnological sections that are related to the evolutionary progression of human activity. These types are not mutually exclusive: once reaching a particular stage of development, they interact with each other. The particular taxonomy employed is based on the biological necessities of survival and adaptation of the human species and on the methods used by them to satisfy their needs.
