Art & About Gallery
About This Museum
I stumbled upon this absolute gem tucked away on a quiet side street in the old town. The Art & About Gallery feels more like stepping into a passionate collector's home than a formal museum, with whitewashed walls that make the colors on the canvas just pop. It's a wonderfully intimate space where you can really get up close and personal with the art without any crowds. The whole place has this incredibly warm and inviting energy, fueled by the owner who is often there to share stories behind the pieces.
Collection Highlights
They have this stunning series of contemporary Cretan landscapes that use such vibrant, almost surreal blues and golds you can practically feel the sun. I was completely captivated by a collection of modern sculptures made from weathered olive wood and sea-smoothed stone, each piece feeling deeply connected to the island itself.
Visitor Information
It's on Emmanoil Vernardoy street – just wander away from the main tourist drag and you'll find it. Don't be shy about chatting with the staff; their personal insights genuinely make the visit.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a beautifully restored old Venetian-era building, it has those classic, heavy wooden doors and stone floors that have been worn smooth by centuries of footsteps.
