Loverdos Museum, Neoclassical mansion in central Athens, Greece.
The Loverdos Museum building contains ornate ceiling paintings, carved wooden staircases, fireplaces, and decorative murals throughout its basement and two main floors.
German architect Ernst Ziller constructed this residence between 1882 and 1885, using it as his personal office and drawing room before banker Dionysios Loverdos purchased it in 1912.
The museum exhibits an extensive collection of Byzantine and post-Byzantine religious art, including icons from the Cretan and Ionian Schools dating from the 14th to 20th centuries.
Located at Mavromichali 6, Athens 10679, the museum operates from 8:30 to 15:30 in winter and 9:00 to 16:00 in summer, remaining closed every Tuesday.
The building represents the first private museum in Greece dedicated to Byzantine art, established around 1930 when Loverdos transformed part of his residence into an exhibition space.
