Byzantine Museum of Antivouniotissa, Art museum in Corfu Old Town, Greece.
The Byzantine Museum of Antivouniotissa occupies a 15th-century church building with stone floors, arched doorways, and an exonarthex surrounding three sides.
Several prominent Corfu families donated the church to the Greek state in 1979, leading to its transformation into a museum inaugurated by Minister Melina Mercouri.
The museum collection contains ninety portable icons from the 15th to 19th centuries, representing the development of Greek ecclesiastical art in the Ionian region.
Visitors can reach the museum within 12 minutes by foot from the central bus station, with parking facilities available within a 15-minute walking distance.
The museum floor incorporates ancient gravestones displaying carved names and coats of arms of notable Corfu society members and high priests.
