Museum of Prehistoric Thera
Fira, Greece

The Museum of Prehistoric Thera gathers objects and wall paintings that illuminate life on Santorini before the great eruption. Its Fira location makes it easy to include alongside a town visit, but the material deserves more than a hurried stop. Choose it before Akrotiri to establish context, or afterwards to reconnect objects with the buildings in which people lived. Check the current galleries and admission arrangements directly when planning your visit.
