Located in the mountainous village of Palaichori, the museum is housed in an old restored building and exhibits the Byzantine art wealth of several churches and chapels of the village.
The exhibits date from the Frankish period to the present day, and portray a wide range of ecclesiastical art, such as icon painting, woodcarving, silverwork, weaving and printing - mainly of the post-Byzantine period.
A multimedia info-kiosk provides information about the area in four different languages.
