Visit the Archaeological Museum of Corfu
Corfu Town, Greece
The Archaeological Museum reaches further back than Corfu Town’s familiar Venetian streets. Its collections trace the island from prehistory through the Roman period, with the monumental Gorgon pediment from the sanctuary of Artemis providing a powerful centrepiece. Smaller finds and other sculptures add context to that dramatic encounter. Make it a focused visit before exploring the ancient sites around the Kanoni peninsula, or use it as an indoor counterpoint to a day spent among the town’s squares and fortifications.
