The first museum was built in 1902, but due to the devastating earthquake that occurred in 1956, it was completely destroyed. In 1960, the Ministry of Public Works built a new museum. Today, the Archaeological Museum exhibits finds from excavations carried out in Mesa Vuno and Akrotiri. There is also a collection of ancient figurines found in local pumice mines. One of the halls displays picturesque frescoes, which, according to scientists, are considered surviving works of art of Atlantis.
