About

The Archaeological Museum of Rethymno is a museum in Rethymno, Crete, Greece. The building that houses the museum is the church of Saint Francis, built by the Barozzi family around 1530. Today it’s one of the world’s smallest museums. Since the building housing the museum used to be Saint Francis’s church, that’s why the street where the museum is located is named Agiou Fragkiskou (= Saint Francis Street).
