Museum of Byzantine Culture, Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki was Byzantium's second city, and this museum on Leoforos Stratou is its memory house: a long, low composition of brick, stone and tile around quiet courtyards, opened in 1994 to designs by Kyriakos Krokos. Inside, the city's Byzantine millennium is laid out in gold and marble — icons, mosaics prised from palace floors, carved screens, coins, seals and the painted tombs of the first Christians. It is the deliberate pair to the Archaeological Museum across the avenue: that one holds the Macedonian gold of the ancient world, this one the splendour of the Christian empire that followed.
