The Byzantine Museum of Corfu town is one of the most important Byzantine museums of Greece and is located close to the old town on the street Arsenio.

The Museum is housed in the Church of the virgin Mary Antivouniotissa. This temple was built in the late 15th century and is one of the oldest and richest religious monuments of Corfu. For a long time the Church building was in private ownership and in 1979 was donated to the state together with all the relics specifically for the establishment of the Museum. In 1984, after the necessary restoration, the Church-Museum was opened to the public.
