Corfu Museum of Asian Art, Corfu Town

This museum is a must. Housed in the old palace, the building itself is part of history. The Asian collection is one of the largest in Europe and well displayed with special exhibition too. The collection at the turn of the century poses a deeply interesting insight into how the gathering of knowledge of other cultures had been a vital task in the formation of a nation. The current issue of imperial collecting is not casting its shadow as everything was acquired in Europe. For those aware of the importance of learning history, not only how Asia presents itself, but also how a Greek collector tried to understand Asia, it's a good choice.

Very informative and easy reading. I agree with the last reviewer a must see. Set on 3 floors starting on the first floor. Mask and Covid pass is required. I have added pictures and info which I found particularly interesting. There is a lot more interesting things to see so please visit.

My favourite was the Japanese Ketana swords. You can find beautiful plates from China and rugs from Pakistan. Very unique place to visit. I love it.

Nice museum with lots of art and history. They only Asian museum in Greece. Staff were friendly and the €3 entry fee is a good price.

Rich collection of artfacts
