The descriptions are really good and it's really easy to follow the instructions, unfortunately on the first floor there were a lot of rooms closed and nobody told us. I suggest to visit before the palace of Knossos and then this museum! :)

Excellent exhibits. Make sure to leave at least 2 - 2 1/2 hours to cover the entire museum. Beware of tours that only allocate 1 1/2 hours.
