Hi all

Just before I cast my vote....

The msueum in the link above was closed for 8 years for renovation purposes. Needlsess to talk about the importance of the artifacts it pays host to, most from Minoan Crete. Among those are some I haven't seen myself: The tied mythological dog, the youths running and the incredible board game which seems to me quite complex. I will not go into any disk of Phaestus details, an artifact that predates Lineral I.

Thank you for posting beautiful photos! I'm glad the Heraklion city museum is now open again; I visited it twice some years ago and I was amazed by its contents. I remember very well a museum attendant, a lady, who looked a lot like the lady painted in a Minoan fresco called 'La Parisienne': I wished to photograph her, but I was shy, and I didn't nerve myself to ask her , but she was really like a beautiful Minoan woman with large eyes and a typical nose, a bit humped!
