Archaeological Collection of Neapolis
The archaeological collection of Neapolis was created pre-war and
collected in a few years about 1000 objects, mainly from the country
of Merabellos province and from other areas of the Prefecture.
During the Occupation thanks to the care of Emm. Mavroidis -
an extraordinary curator of antiquities - the collection was protected in the basement of the Club.
Today the objects of the Collection are located in a building provided by the Ministry of Health
and Welfare and the Municipality of the Ministry of Culture.
Collections include:
- Finds from the archaeological research of the French Archaeological School in Elounda (1937).
- Research findings of the French Archaeological School in Greek (1937).
- Finds from the excavation research of the French Archaeological School in Driiros (1937).
