Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited the new Archaeological Museum of Chania, in Crete, which will officially open on Saturday morning, ANA reports.
The new museum showcases over 3,500 objects, including the collection of antiquities of the premier’s late parents, Konstantinos and Marika Mitsotakis, exhibited in its entirety for the first time. The collection came to the ownership of the Greek state in April 2000, following the decision of the Central Archaeological Council to accept the donation. Another 1,000 artifacts have also never been publicly shown before.
