Muzeu Kombëtar Ikonografik Onufri

A national museum located in the heart of the largest castle in the Balkans. The museum has international values, and world-class iconography, carefully managed by M. Pasku. Also the volumetric combination of the church with the museum gives a feeling of grandeur. Prominent architecture between Greek and Byzantine elements. We had the honor to contribute to site-work and academic research, works consisting of architectural survey and scans of the building with lidar & point-cloud technology.

Small but full of information and paintings. Great museum that represents the artworks done in the Byzantine era or before that. The museum itself is magnificent and rich in history and culture. You also have audio guided tickets for a very reasonable price. I would recommend visiting this museum if you are planning to visit Berat's Castle.

Very well preserved and put-together, I found this museum highly worthwhile and enjoyable with the audio guide. The music is well-chosen on it and adds a lot! One of the better museums I’ve seen in Albania.

The Onufri Museum is a gem located in Berat castle, central Albania. The visit to the museum was a great experience overall. We had the opportunity to view the collection of historical icons and various artifacts dating as far as the Byzanyine era. It was quite remarkable, as each object carried a unique and profound story. The detailed explanations of our guide Anila, regarding the history and significance of these artifacts greatly enhanced the visit. Her extensive knowledge, enthusiasm, and deep appreciation for the museum’s importance made the tour truly extraordinary.

Very special place and definitely worth a visit.

A captivating museum set within a historic church, offering an impressive collection of Byzantine icons and liturgical artifacts. A must-visit for those interested in religious art and Albanian heritage.

Great place to see older pieces of art dating back centuries ago. It doesn't take much time to complete the tour and there are audio guides available with local devices.

Well, if you're into religious icons, images, paint-on-wood, and wood carvings, this is a good place for you. Small, two floors, but very small. It's not really worth 400LEk (4EU) price tag, though. Audio guide is 500LEK pp (they have QR codes at most exhibits. If you have data and earphones, you're good). Nice to look at, but again, unless you're into this stuff, it might be a pass. No AC inside, but WC outside is very good (but gratis, no need for ticket to use it). Indeed, they have benches outside you can sit in shade and rest, no ticket. Final annoyance: no photos (and they mean it, surveillance everywhere). I'm not sure where google review photos come from! Can't miss it, well signed, right at Castle entrance (past acordion guy).
