The Museum of Byzantine Culture is closed on 25 - 26 December, 1 January, 25 March, Orthodox Easter Sunday and 1 May.

2,900 artefacts, organised in display units which narrate, in chronological order, "short stories" that present, in a comprehensive and pleasant way, aspects of byzantine art and culture, from its origins in late antiquity (3rd - 4th c. A. D.) to the Fall of Constantinople (1453), as well as survivinng aspects of the former culture to the ages after the Fall to the 19th century. Frescoes, mosaics, icons, marble architectural members, integrally detached frescoed early christian burials, valuable ecclesiastic utensils, objects of personal ornament, but also humble functional objects of everyday use present aspects of life in Byzantium, from the organisation of religious and social life and the artistic and intellectual production to private life and activities in the market, the countryside and the sea.
The exhibits are displayed not merely as works of art, but as witnesses to the culture that created them and the society that used them, within an informational framework of information on their original context and function.

"Following the 1917 fire catastrophe, the church had to be restored for decades. The excavations, conducted in the 1930s and 1940s, brought to life some interesting items that may be seen in a museum situated inside the church's crypt. The excavations uncovered the ruins of a roman bath where St. Demetrius had been held prisoner and later executed. A roman well was discovered too and it is believed that its the same well that the soldiers who executed St. Demetrius dropped his body later. The church has been inscribed on the World Heritage List since 1988." (Wikipedia)
