Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum (Orthodox liturgical site and contemplative chapel)
By Seeker
The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum, founded by Dominique de Menil as part of the Menil Collection complex, houses a cycle of 13th-century frescoes removed from the Church of St. Evphemianos in Cyprus. The chapel-like museum space is used for occasional Orthodox liturgies, prayer services, and contemplative visits tied to the artworks' religious origin. Its design and programming explicitly connect the museum to ritual and devotional practices associated with Byzantine Christianity.
