About
Casa Parlante Museum, also known as the Speaking House Museum, is a historic house on Nikiforou Theotoki Street in Corfu, in the Ionian Islands of Greece. It is a museum that recreates aristocratic life in Corfu during the nineteenth century, and it suits visitors who want to see how a Corfiot noble family once lived rather than only looking at old objects behind glass.
What to expect inside
The house is arranged as a set of period rooms, and the visit is built around interactive displays and audio-visual presentations. These tell the story of the daily life of a noble Corfiot family, so you move through the house following the rhythm of their everyday routines. Many visitors find this approach makes the rooms easier to picture than a conventional museum layout.
Who it suits
- Visitors interested in the social history of Corfu and its island families
- Families and younger visitors who respond well to interactive displays
- Anyone looking for an indoor visit that gives a change of pace from beaches and the old town streets
Planning your visit
The museum is in the centre of Corfu town, so it can be combined easily with a walk through the surrounding streets, where the island's architecture and everyday life are on view.
