A full of beautiful gilded iconostases. A staff member can take you to two local and unlock them. An impressive collection of Byzantine art, mostly of ecclesiastical content, wonderfully presented and well ordered in a comprehensive chronological manner. Not a lengthy nor a tiring to have a glimpse at the art of an empire that endured for 11 centuries Terrible staff Ticket was 10e, while on the brochure 4e This classy, nicely laid out collection of Byzantine iconostases, while a bit pricey (10 euros a pop at this writing), is well worth a visit. Kastoria's many Byzantine are always locked, but if you come to the at noon or later you can ask a staff member to let you into two of them. Wonderful collection of Byzantine from the Kastoria area. Plenty of information in both Greek and English. Helpful staff and very clean toilets. A very rich with unique and old exhibits of the Byzantine Orthodox art. It is presented in a very nice way too. Really worthy to see if you the city Small but contemporary has gathered treasures from many in the area. Particularly helpful where the videos explaining how the are painted. Still big number of are in Archbishop's collection, still not accessible to public. Unfortunately the cooperation between the Archeological Society Nd the official Church in Kastoria is not where it should be and this does not benefit anyone...Nevertheless a in the is highly recommended. A recently renovated visitor-friendly exhibiting mostly panel and sanctuary doors from Byzantine and post-Byzantine period from the area of Kastoria. Very clean place and well taken care. Congratulations for the great work! (Entrance 4€) Great of byzantine Πολύ μεγάλη συλλογή Βυζαντινών εικόνων και φωτογραφιών από Βυζαντινές εκκλησίες. A very well curated museums with Bysantine and post-Bysantines paintings that have been rescued and restaurés beautifully. Entrance ticket includes a wonderful to a few Bysantine with a wonderful guide who loves his town and history. Well worth a visit. Nice but in my opinion it is overpriced (10 euro per person). The exhibition is not very big/diverse. Most of the pieces are heavily restored. Also, we were alone in the and an employee followed our very step in a way that made us feel very uncomfortable. A unique thematic of icons, its collections are mainly composed of portable religious paintings of the Byzantine and post-Byzantine periods🙏⛪️🇬🇷 Very much worth a visit, but take the time to really engage with the to make the most of the experience. There’s some masterpieces of Byzantine art here, no doubt, but also remember that these images were the focus of adoration and veneration for thousands of people over hundreds of years. They represents so much more than just art. The experience of getting up close to the and being able to see the brush strokes, the imperfections and the general wear and tear is something you don’t often get in an art gallery. The collection is thoughtfully presented in three halls and includes an enlightening video presentation showing a contemporary artist producing an icon using traditional methods. Flawlessly good experience. We had a tour of the Byzantium churches, which were built during the 10th and 12 century. Astonishing frescoes. The freshly renovatated in the old town of Kastoria. They've put an exhibition of the process of making icons. Recommend visiting. Small but nice museum, primarily focused on Byzantine and post-Byzantine with some unique pieces that you will normally see in all the handbooks of Byzantine Art. Very helpfull staff who helped us some of the Byzantine around the city centre despite the very short notice. Πολύ καλή η Γεωργία , πού μας ξενάγησε σε εξι βυζαντινές εκλησίες της Καστοριάς.
