The Byzantine Museum is a very classical and huge venue. The museum has a lot of Byzantine classical artworks. The museum controls unique temperature and humidity. It has a very high-quality environment for preservation of items. The visit is also very good.
The museum displays many of the Byzantine Empire's cultural relics from the Byzantine Empire's establishment to its destruction. Many of the collections are related to the history of Christianity, and it will be a bit boring to see these relics without knowing the allusions.
It is worth going. There are many murals inside. The style is very different. It is a bit different from other European murals. There are also many statues and calligraphy and painting displays.
The Byzantine Christ Museum is also very good, looking forward to seeing more babies in the future. Because the venue is really big, it is not felt when there are many people.
There are quite a lot of exhibits, which is considered to be the top-ranked museum in Athens. Mainly in Byzantine sculptures, paintings, etc., about half are related to religion, because Byzantine is a country of unity between church and state.
