About the museum

The Folklore Museum of Chania, known as “Kritiko Spiti” (Cretan House), is a private museum in the old town of Chania, on Odos Chalidon. It was created out of the passion of two women, Aspasia Mpikaki and Eirini Koumandraki.

The exhibition presents the everyday life and occupations of rural residents up to the first half of the 20th century. The weavings and embroideries were made by the founders and their pupils and copy pieces collected from all over Crete. Embroidered pictures showing scenes from local customs and traditions are also on display.
