Museums & palaces · Corfu · ★★★★☆
Chinese porcelain, Japanese prints and samurai armour, and Buddhist sculpture from Gandhara, in the neoclassical palace the British built for their governors on the Spianada. A state museum that began with a Greek diplomat's gift in 1927.
Quiet, wheelchair accessible and right on the Spianada, it makes an indoor break from the sun in a day in town; allow about an hour and a half. Parking and toilets are within about 40 m. The Liston is 200 m away, and the Old Fortress 300 m.
