Greek Folk Art Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:53:32

As of 2015, this superb collection was closed as it began its transition to a new museum site at Adrianou. Once it opens, it will display secular and religious folk art, mainly from the 18th and 19th centuries. Exhibits include embroidery, pottery, weaving and puppets, and a reconstructed traditional village house with paintings by Theophilos. Greek traditional costumes will also be on display.

The museum has two annexes: Greek Folk Art Museum: Man & Tools , in Plaka, and the Bath House of the Winds , in Monastiraki, which are currently open.
