About Byzantine and Christian Museum
The Byzantine and Christian Museum was founded in Athens in 1914 to collect Byzantine and post-Byzantine art and artifacts from across Greece. It occupied the Villa Ilissia, a nineteenth century mansion built for the Duchesse de Plaisance, and amassed icons and church furnishings from early Christian times onward. It became a leading institution for the study of Byzantine art.
