The National Iconographic Museum “Onufri”, a state institution dependent upon the Ministry of Culture which conducts its activity within the church rebuilt in 1797 in the “Kala” neighbourhood. The church was once the city’s cathedral.

The cathedral is the most representative monument of post-Byzantine architecture in the city of Berat. The museum collection consists of 173 artefacts selected from an inventory of more than 1,500 artefacts, belonging to Albanian churches and monasteries, and of the city of Berat, of which 106 are icons and 67 liturgical objects, realized by Albanian iconographic painters  from the 14-20^th centuries, such as: Onufri, Nikolla son of Onufri, Onufër Qiprioti, David Selenica, Kostandin Shpataraku and the Çetiri family (Gjergj, Nikolla, Johan, Naum, Gjergj the Young) and many other anonymous painters. The museum has three main halls, where the most representative works of the aforementioned painters and of others are exhibited. Besides the icons displayed on the museum, a special series of works, icons realized by the painter Joan Çetiri, are displayed near the church’s gilded iconostasis. Textiles and metallic objects, bearing testimony to Berat’s highly skilled artisanal tradition, are also showcased.
