Ten halls showcase rare exhibits such as golden jewelry, exquisite ceramics, unique vessels and containers, and, of course, the Minoan frescoes, those unique creations that express a pandemonium of color, movement and symbolize a tribute to life itself, are only of the few elements that make up for the oldest frescoes ever found in Europe.
