The Byzantine Museum of Antivouniotissa is most appropriately located in the former church of the Holy Mother of God Antivouniotissa. The museum is dedicated to the post-Byzantine religious art of the Cretan and early Heptanese schools, a period of remarkable artistic production in two regions of Greece that remained free from Ottoman control. The museum opened in 1984 to host a fascinating collection of religious works of art from the 15th to the 19th century.
