Museums

Did you know that Lesbos is home to the first entirely Digital Art Museum in Greece, called ‘Georgios Iakovidis’? Did you know that the world-renowned Museum of Natural History of the Petrified Forest of Lesbos introduces us to life in the Aegean 20 million years ago? The rich network of museums in Lesbos brings visitors closer to the island’s history, geology, and robust cultural heritage, bridging the past with the present and the future. The island’s folklore museums, located in various traditional villages, are certainly hidden gems, re-creating moments from earlier times in the daily lives of the inhabitants. Last but not least, there are Art Galleries and Art Museums that house works by well-known Greek painters and more.
