β β β β β The significant and rich Archiepiscopal Museum here in Ravenna shows us the historical sequence of events and life in the city itself. It is located immediately next to the Baptistry of Neon and behind the Duomo of Ravenna, on the first and second floor of the Archiepiscopal Palace. The museum is very interesting with its artifacts and we are especially impressed with the chapel of Sant'Andrea, an early Christian oratory with Greek cross plan built between 494 and 519 AD in the time of Theodoric and decorated with wonderful mosaics. Archiepiscopal Chapel is the only existing archiepiscopal chapel of the early Christian era that has been preserved intact to the present day. It was erected by Bishop Peter II as a private oratory for Catholic bishops when Arianism was the main religion of the court. Originally dedicated to Christ, the chapel was then renamed and dedicated to Saint Andrew, whose relics were transported from Constantinople to Ravenna around the mid-6th century AD. Beautifully decorated chapel with extremely beautiful mosaics. Also of interest to us was the ivory throne of Maximian, one of the most famous carved ivory works of all times executed in the 6th century by Byzantine artists. Very interesting museum with valuable details.

β β β β β Small museum work many Roman remains and artifacts found around the city. The ebony throne and small Chapel are the two most significant parts of this visit. The rest felt a little disjointed and was hard to follow. Would still recommend visiting though.

β β β β β The museum has many old grave markers and religious items. If you are into the history of this area or are looking for mosaics, then this is worth a visit. If you speak English but not Italian, then you will find some content is in English but not all. Going with a guide would likely be much more interesting than wandering through on your own.

β β β β β With the National Museum and MAR is a must see in Ravenna. Some of the most precious Byzantine masterpiece of the high Middleage are housed there and you can not ignore the superb Episcopal Throne of Massimiano made up of ivory carvings... it will remain in your memory as the highest masterpiece of the Vth-VIth century .
