Kapodistrias museum

The Kapodistrias Museum is a farmhouse museum in a rural estate on Corfu, displaying personal belongings, portraits, books, and furniture of a key political figure. The building itself dates from the Venetian period and later served as a family residence for generations.

The estate was built during Venice's rule of Corfu and later became the summer residence of an influential family. The museum itself was established to preserve the memory of this family and their role in Greek history.

The museum preserves the memory of a figure central to Greece's formation, displaying objects that reflect how he lived and what mattered to him. Visitors can understand through personal items how this historical person shaped his world and thought.

The museum sits outside the island's main town and is best reached with your own transport. Audio guides help visitors understand the collection in their preferred language.

The collection includes objects that show how people of this social class lived and made daily choices in the 18th century. Such details offer insight into a life that shaped history.
