Nikos Kazantzakis Museum, Biographical museum in Myrtia, Greece.

The Nikos Kazantzakis Museum stands in Myrtia, the writer's ancestral village 20 km south of Heraklion, on the site of the paternal house of the Anemogiannis family and a small house where Kazantzakis's relatives lived. Its 2009 renovation, designed by architects I. Psomadakis and M. Marinou, presents 650 exhibits in five thematic sections, from the man himself to his novels and travel books.

The museum was founded in 1983 by George Anemogiannis, a Myrtia-born scenographer and costume designer, on the site of the Anemogiannis family's paternal house and a small house where relatives of Kazantzakis lived. It opened on 27 June 1983. The Kazantzakis Archives were created in 1976, before the museum, and grew substantially when the author's wife, Eleni Samiou-Kazantzakis, donated much of his personal archive and belongings. The building was fully renovated in 2009.

The museum honors how the author is remembered in his native village and the importance of his literary contributions to Greece. His personal belongings and writings reveal his connection to local life and influence on modern Greek letters.

The exhibition is laid out in five thematic sections, and a short documentary on Kazantzakis's life is screened in eleven languages, with a separate children's version. Wireless audio guides are offered in Greek, English and German, and tours led by the museum's scientific staff can be booked in Greek or English. The museum shop sits beside the permanent exhibition.

The museum holds a vast archive of around 50,000 documents that extends far beyond the displayed objects. This hidden collection includes rare staging notes and complete draft sketches that are seldom shown to the public.
