VIRTUAL MUSEUM

The Byzantine and Christian Museum is implementing the project e-Byzantine and Christian Museum. This project allows the Museum to
* Upgrade its archaeological collections management system by utilizing modern digital applications;
* Develop a new, accessible digital archive which can be further enriched and provides valid information on Byzantine and post-Byzantine civilization;
* Refresh its communication and deepen its relations with many and diverse stakeholders, both specialist and non-specialist, as well as with the world public;
* Encourage learning through play, discussion and networking for all its visitors, young and old.

Collections Management System ‘MuseumPlus’
The Museum is now equipped with MuseumPlus, an internationally renowned software solution for the organization of museums and the management and enhancement of collections.
