Museum of Prehistoric Thera
The Museum of Prehistoric Thera in Fira brings Akrotiri’s Bronze Age town indoors through original frescoes and objects preserved by volcanic ash. Its paired exhibitions make the island’s prehistoric art legible beyond the excavation.
This museum turns Santorini’s prehistoric story into an indoor encounter with objects from Akrotiri. One exhibition follows the island’s settlement history through finds preserved by volcanic ash; the other presents wall paintings in their original decorative groupings. The Flotilla Miniature and other frescoes reward close viewing, especially if you have visited or plan to visit the Akrotiri excavation.
What to look for
Study the Flotilla Miniature and wall paintings from Akrotiri’s West House.
Useful to know
The museum is near Fira’s central square. Check the official venue page for current hours, tickets and gallery access before visiting.
