Archaeological Museum of Corfu

The museum exhibits the finds from several excavated sites across the island, from places like Paleopolis, Kanoni, Garitsa and Kassiopi. It is beautifully curated.

The museum has expanded from its initial purpose to show archaeological finds from Corfu’s Temple of Artemis.  The items displayed date from the Prehistoric to the Hellenistic times. Notable pieces in the museum’s collection are bronze and marble statues, clay pottery and golden jewellery.

There is also the impressive Gorgona-Medusa pediment from the temple of Artemis, dating back to 585 BC. This is considered the oldest stone pediment from an ancient Greek temple.
