Museum of Greek Folk Art

Dedicated to the traditional crafts and customs of the Greek people, this museum in the Plaka district gathers embroidery, weaving, ceramics, metalwork, carved wood and shadow-theatre puppets from across the country. Its collection illustrates rural and urban folk life from the period after the fall of Constantinople to the 20th century. A notable room reconstructs a house interior painted by the naive artist Theophilos Hatzimichail. The institution has expanded across several historic buildings in the neighbourhood.
