I really enjoyed this very small, unassuming, local museum and connected with its displays more than I have in bigger, fancier museums. I spent much more time there than I would have expected to for such a small place. There's something about being there, up close, just you and the artifacts, without the big, echo-y, glitzy architecture as a distraction. Admission is free. Definitely worth a visit, IMO.

As of September 2021 the main museum is closed and undergoing renovations. For approximately three years until September 2024. So no mosaics and a very limited display of vases and figures from the Cyclades in the temporary display area. The upside is that this display is now free. The downside is that it is very underwhelming. If you are not out in 15 minutes I would be surprised.

Incredible. Bit tricky to find in the little winding streets but there are signs to guide and it's a scenic walk anyway. Museum entry was only €2 and it's pretty amazing for such a small place. The info alongside the items are more informative if you speak greek, the English translations are a bit brief, but that doesn't really detract much considering what you can see

Great museum for items and carvings from up to 3000 years ago. Pottery, bronze items, gold seals etc. If you go in summer it will be hot as there is no air conditioning. Once the breeze picks up to cool the building they will close the windows and it gets even worse. Visit early in the morning and even in September it is hot in the museum but worth going to.

The Archaeological Museum of Naxos is situated on top of the Kastelli hill in Naxos town. It has a nice and quite large collection of art from the Cycladic culture. Statues and grave monuments are also visible here. On the outside court there is a nice and well preserved mosaic and from the court you have a nice view over the island of Naxos.

At the moment most of it is closed for renovation. It's just one room with about 20 glass cases for the next couple of years. If you've already been to any other Greek museum you can give this a miss. Not much to see until the museum fully opens again in a couple of years. The gift shop has more space currently
