About
A two-story 1840 mansion with an inner courtyard holds the largest collection of Greek folk instruments, from the mid-18th century on, gathered from the islands, the mainland, Constantinople, Pontus, Cappadocia and Cyprus. Drums and wind instruments fill the ground floor, string instruments the first floor, and bells and sound-making objects the basement.
An audio guide app covers the highlights, and summer brings concerts in the garden.
