The Cultural Association of Praisos, in the context of its efforts to protect and preserve its cultural heritage, to highlight its more recent history, and, especially, due to its having in its possession various precious and rare objects offered by inhabitants of the area, came to the decision to create 'The Historical Museum of Praisos'--the only museum of its kind in the wider area of Lassithi.
Following the registering of the various objects, and after the museum had been operational for a while, it became apparent that these objects were not connected to the area of Praisos and Sitia alone, but to the whole of Crete.
