Corfu Archaeological Museum
Like all good Greek towns, Corfu Town has its Archaeological
Museum, on the boulevard along the waterfront. Although it is
small, it is worth visiting particularly to see the pediment from
the Temple of Artemis that is housed there. The temple dates from
590 BC and is south of Corfu Town. The pediment on display in the
museum features a Medusa and is regarded as a fine example of
archaic sculpture. The museum has some other interesting sculptures
too.
