Museum of Byzantine Culture, History museum in central Thessaloniki, Greece
The Museum of Byzantine Culture occupies a three-story building with eleven thematic galleries displaying artifacts, religious art, textiles, and frescoes from churches.
The museum opened in 1994 and received important Byzantine antiquities that returned to Thessaloniki after being moved to Athens during 1916.
The permanent exhibition presents extensive collections of early Christian mosaics, manuscripts, and objects that represent daily Byzantine life through eleven distinct sections.
