Museum of El Greco, Biographical museum in Fodele, Greece.
The Museum of El Greco occupies a traditional building opposite the Byzantine Church of Panagia, displaying reproductions of the painter's most notable works.
The museum building dates from before 1998 and underwent extensive restoration funded by the Greek Ministry of Culture before opening to the public.
The museum exhibits replicas of El Greco's paintings, documents from his life, and contains a reconstructed painting workshop demonstrating Renaissance techniques.
Located one kilometer from central Fodele, the museum maintains daily operations from April through October between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
The museum stands near the Byzantine church that influenced El Greco's early artistic development before his departure to Venice and later Spain.
