I am passionate about Egyptian and Aegean archaeology and I did a particular study [for the thesis] on the relationship between the two Civilizations in a given historical period. If you feel like it, also read my reviews on the Palaces of Knossos and Festos.
As for this Museum I could bore you for a long time [I visited it at least 4 times].
May I only suggest you do not miss it if you come to Heraklion. Here you will find artefacts of unique beauty: from the taurocatapsia fresco (remember? The young man jumping on the bull's horns), the mysterious Disco of Festos, the elegant Bees of Mallia, the equally elegant and famous rython in the form of a bull's head, the Sarcophagus of Hagia Triada. Perhaps many of these things are little known, but after you have admired them we will never forget them, believe me!!
