    Overview

    Would you like to see with your own eyes a number of important finds from prehistoric times to late antiquity?

    The Archaeological Museum of Corfu welcomes you to its renovated premises for a unique experience of private hospitality at the Museum, with information and stories exclusively for you.

    Discover precious archaeological findings of Corfu, which were excavated in various villages and suburbs of the island, including tools of the early prehistoric period and learn about the first residents of the island.

    Be impressed by admiring the pediment of the temple dedicated to Artemis, the goddess of hunting. Her worship played a very significant role among the local people during the ancient times. The temple was constructed in the 6th century B.C. and its pediment is the only part which survived through the centuries, even though the barbarian incursions, the earthquakes and the various wars had been proved extremely disastrous for Corfu and its monuments.
