    It is a very good museum, it's very large, and you learn a lot of things. All the information on the signs is accurate, and the works are very well preserved. The staff is very welcoming, everything is well-organized. Highly recommend!

    Amazing. The building is nice and cool. On the weekday I visited it was nice and quiet. The museum has a full range of Byzantine history from the Early Christian era to beyond the Fall of Constantinople. The preservation quality of some of the artefacts were stunning.
