This is also on Halidon Street, a few doors down on the opposite side from the Orthodox church. It is housed in the old church of St Francis, which immediately makes the building interesting, as all the architectural features can still be seen, the furniture having been removed. This museum is state-run, smaller than the one at Heraklion, but very interesting as the finds are all from the local area around Chania. These photos were taken with great stealth, as although there is no notice saying no photos, the museum police (guides) keep an eye on everybody and I was told off once!
Below, this herd of bulls was recovered from a rich man's house locally, dating from 3rd century AD. You can see the church architecture of the building in this shot. Was told off for taking this as it had not been published yet, whatever that meant.
Below, Roman glassware dating from various eras between 2nd century BC and 3rd century AD. Compares with similar found at the Pompeii site in Italy (pages to be published yet).
Below: Vases and pots found in the Selines area, same range of dates as the glassware.
Below: floor mosaic of Dionysius discovering Ariadne on the island of Naxos, recovered from a villa in Chania where the covered market now stands.
Below: amphora, or storage vase. Couldn't get the (full size) fire extinguisher out of shot, but it serves to show how large these jars could be.
Definitely worth looking at everything in detail, but was pushed for time, and trying to keep ahead of the guides...
