Why go
This compact museum day suits a wet or cool day and visitors interested in several chapters of Corfu’s history. Begin with the Serbian House on Corfu and the Banknote Museum of Ionian Bank, which are close together. Continue to the Archaeological Museum of Corfu for the ancient island, then finish at the Museum of Asian Art of Corfu by the waterfront. The route moves from recent history and money to archaeology and Asian art without requiring long transfers. Give each collection time rather than treating it as shelter from rain. Check current opening arrangements at all four museums before choosing a date.
