Andritsaina Folklore Museum

About the museum

The Andritsaina Folklore Museum was founded in 1981 by the Andritsaina Women’s Beautification Association with the aim of preserving local heritage. Today it is managed by the Andritsaina Beautification Association.

It is housed in the Kanellopoulos Mansion, a stone-built building of 1847 with an area of about 500 m². The house, with its old furniture and household objects, was bequeathed by Galini Kanellopoulou, the last descendant of the family.

The collection numbers more than 4,000 exhibits from Andritsaina, dating from 1832 to 1932. It includes local costumes, icons and church vessels, documents of the 18th and 19th century, photographs from around 1850, paintings and lithographs. The museum also has a screening and multi-purpose hall, renovated with a donation from the Michelis Foundation, and photographs by Fred Boissonnas.
