The NHMC is a pioneering institute in study and management of the natural environment in Crete, Greece and the wider Eastern Mediterranean, with public education and outreach on environmental issues as core activities.
This is an archaeological site museum, created to house the results of excavations in the ancient city of Eleutherna. The Museum’s Research Centre, open to scholars from around the world, is dedicated to the study of the Eleutherna excavations, Crete, and Mediterranean history and archaeology.
The Museum acts as a centre for the preservation, research and promotion of the History of Medicine from antiquity to the present day. The permanent exhibition alongside public events cover the history of medicine in Crete, medicinal herbs, public health, medical instruments, and medicine in art.
The Museum preserves exhibits, studies, and publicly promotes the educational school background and the history of the teaching profession during the period of Modern Greek history. Exhibits include rare evidence from the Heraklion Pedagogical Academy and school artefacts from the 18th to 20th centuries.
