Description:
SYNTAGMA. This is one of the few European museums dedicated to Byzantine art. Each room in the museum depicts a Greek church and represents a specific period; the displays include an early Christian basilica and a medieval domed church. Most exhibits are of religious art too. There's also an extensive collection of icons, bibles, altars, and mosaics. A word of warning ­ most of the descriptive placards are only in Greek.
