Folklore museum, Ammouliani

About the museum

The Folklore Museum of Ammouliani is located a little above the island's small harbour, in the square where the church of St Nicholas stands. The building was a monastic metochion (dependency) of the Vatopedi monastery and was built in 1907. After the arrival of the refugees it became a state primary school, which operated normally until the mid-1960s.

Today the ground floor houses the folklore collection of the Cultural Association of Ammouliani, while the upper floor holds the offices of the Community. The collection depicts the customs and the life of the island's first residents.

The exhibits include a reconstruction of an Asia Minor mansion with dowry items and a small salon, as well as objects of everyday use. There are also old photographs, woodworking tools, ecclesiastical objects, sacred relics and costumes.
