emperor who succeeded in restoring the ecumenical,
for the era, character of the Byzantine empire.

The museum has over 25,000 artefacts in its possession. The artefacts date from between the 3rd and 20th century AD, and their provenance encompasses the entire Greek world, as well as regions in which Hellenism flourished. The size and range of the collections and value of the exhibits makes the Museum a veritable treasury of Byzantine and post-Byzantine art and culture.
The Museum has over 30,000 artefacts. They date from the 3rd century AD to the 21th century AD: icons, wall-paintings, manuscripts and works on paper, works of minor arts, ceramics, textiles, paintings, mosaics, copies.
These have all been recorded, categorized by date and subject and digitized using modern electronic documentation systems. Those which are not on display in the permanent exhibition are kept in ideal conditions of humidity and temperature in modern archaeological storage rooms.
