- Wooden icons
The icons, which constitute the larger part of the collection, represent almost all of the painting schools from the end of the fourteenth to the nineteenth century. They are grouped by theme, allowing the visitor to follow the development of a subject in time and to appreciate its interpretation and rendering by different painting schools. The sixteenth and seventeenth century icons are especially noteworthy, particularly those of the Christ Pantokrator, St Matron and St Athanassios; the eighteenth century triptychs are also outstanding.
- Coins, ecclesiastical objects and documents
Representative objects of each category were chosen for display. The coins are mostly Byzantine, but include one Roman (first century AD) and several Venetian coins of the thirteenth to seventeenth centuries. Other important exhibits are the sixth and seventh century bronze lamps, the twelfth to sixteenth century ceramics, and the metal crosses and reliquaries dating from the sixth to nineteenth centuries.
