About
The Archaeological Museum of Corfu sits at Vraila Armeni 1 in Corfu town, on the Ionian island of Corfu in Greece. It is also known as the Corfu Archaeological Museum, and it brings together a collection of ancient Greek objects that tell the story of the island and the region around it.
What you will see
The highlight is the Gorgon pediment from the Temple of Artemis, a sculpted piece that draws most visitors in. Around it, the museum displays further artifacts that show how the island was lived in and worshipped in across the ancient period, so the visit reads as a survey of the local past rather than a single object.
Who it suits
- Visitors interested in ancient Greek sculpture and temple decoration
- Those who want to understand Corfu's history beyond its beaches and old town
- Travellers looking for a focused, indoor visit that fits well into a day in the city
Because the collection is compact and centred on a few important pieces, a visit can be taken at an unhurried pace. It works equally well for a curious traveller with an hour to spare or for someone planning a longer look at the island's heritage.
Planning your trip
The museum is in Corfu town, so it is easy to combine with a walk through the historic streets and the seafront nearby. For opening hours, admission and any current arrangements, it is worth contacting the museum directly by phone at +30 26610 30680 before you go, as these details can change.
