About 75 minutes suits most visitors, and booking is recommended.

Wonderful museum. A bit unclear that it’s a museum. We went in and saw no smoking signs and the whole room smelled of cigarettes so I was worried the the museum would. It didn’t. It was lovely and amazingly informative about the history of Byzantine art. I learned a lot of words were Greek in this museum.
