Byzantine & Christian Museum

This outstanding museum ? on the grounds of former Villa Ilissia, an urban oasis ? presents a priceless collection of Christian art from the 3rd to 20th centuries. Thematic snapshots of the Byzantine and post-Byzantine world are exceptionally presented in expansive, well-lit multilevel galleries, clearly arranged chronologically with English translations. The collection includes icons, frescoes, sculptures, textiles, manuscripts, vestments and mosaics.

The villa grounds include ancient ruins such as the Peisistratos aqueduct, and sit next to Aristotle?s Lyceum .
