MUSEUM OF BYZANTINE CULTURE

The Museum of Byzantine Culture, one of the most modern museums in Greece, offers a comprehensive picture of the Byzantine culture through original exhibitions and its multifaceted activity. Its purpose is to collect, protect, study and display works of art and objects which chronologically cover the early Christian, Byzantine and post-Byzantine period. The works being stored and displayed in the spaces come from the geographical area of Macedonia and particularly from Thessaloniki, the most important center of the European part of the Byzantine Empire after Constantinople.

 

The museum collections include sculptures, mosaics, frescoes, icons coins, inscriptions, pottery, manuscripts, miniature objects and glass.
