Religious Art Museum of Kourounia

The Museum of Ecclesiastical/ Religious art in Kourounia is the only one of its kind in Chios. It is housed in the old primary school of Kourounia village that was built in 1913.

Its collections are divided in four main sections:

The first section includes works made by Georgios Panayiotakis, the great iconographer who lived in Chios at the start of the last century, as well as works of the iconographer Georgios Kefalas who came from the village.

The second section includes visual material of the religious customs of the village.

The last two sections are still under development and include ecclesiastical artefacts and books.
