The Archaeological Museum of Naxos is in Chora.

It is housed in an impressive five-storey building, constructed in the 17th century and it is one of the most exquisite examples of architecture during the Franks. In the same building was formerly housed the School of Commerce, where the famous writer Nikos Kazantzakis had studied.
