Museum of Christian Art

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:56:09

Housed in a 13th-century monastery and later a mosque, this tiny but fascinating museum features historic religious artworks from different monasteries around Crete. Star exhibits include the works by 15th-century icon hagiographer Angelos Akotantos and post-Byzantine painter Michael Damaskinos. Paintings, woodcraft, manuscripts and stone carvings are displayed in a clear manner with English descriptions. It’s opposite Agios Minas.
