Onufri Museum

The Onufri Museum is housed in a church in Berat's old town and displays religious artworks from different periods. The collection includes icons and liturgical objects that came from Albanian churches and monasteries and were created across several centuries.

The museum was established in 1986 to preserve important religious artworks from Albanian churches and monasteries. The collection documents artistic development from the 14th century through modern times.

The collection showcases works by Orthodox painters who created religious scenes and sacred figures using traditional iconographic techniques. You can see the craftsmanship and deep connection between art and faith that shaped the Orthodox Church in Albania.

The museum is open most weekdays with shorter hours on weekends than during the week. Comfortable shoes are helpful since the old town sits on a hillside and the walk to the church goes uphill.

The collection was carefully selected from about 1500 objects gathered from different religious institutions across Albania. This means each displayed piece was chosen for its artistic or cultural importance.

Opening Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 09:00-16:00; Sunday 09:00-14:00
