Dedicated to the celebrated soprano, the museum presents a multi-sensory exhibition that traces her journey from her early years and time in Greece to her international breakthrough and most acclaimed roles. Visitors can explore the exhibition through a curated collection of texts, personal belongings, video installations and rare audio recordings that bring Callas’ story to life.
The museum’s guided tours offer an opportunity to engage more closely with the exhibition and gain a broader understanding of the artist behind the legend. The experience examines not only her artistic achievements but also her personal life and the enduring impact she continues to have on audiences around the world. Family tours, designed to introduce younger visitors to the world of opera through interactive exhibits, run on selected dates through the summer.
