Founded in 1994 at Sigri, this is the research, conservation and visitor centre for the Petrified Forest and the managing body of the Lesvos Island UNESCO Global Geopark. Displays cover petrified trunks, branches, roots and leaves, the volcanic activity that fossilised them around 20 million years ago, and the geological evolution of Lesvos and the Aegean; it also runs the fossil parks and guided visits. Listed opening hours are Monday-Sunday 09:00-17:00.
