About this activity

Step into Minoan civilisation through cutting-edge 3D Museum exhibits and an immersive 9D cinema that combines historical and mythological storytelling. This innovative attraction uses silicon statues, augmented reality, and multisensory effects—wind, rain, snow, and smoke—to bring Europe's oldest civilisation to life in ways traditional museums cannot.

Experience the Minoan History like never before!

Europe’s oldest civilization meets Europe’s first 3D Museum and 9D Cinema! We are a unique combination of a 3D Museum (non archaeological) with life-like statues made out of silicon and mesmerizing 3D art that comes to life through your phone's camera, and a 9D cinema which will take you back in time with fully immersive special effects such as air blasts, rain, snow, bubbles and smoke. Our epic movie has both a historical and mythological perspective.

  • English
  • German
