The Skopelos Museum of Folk Art
The Skopelos Museum of Folk Art is housed in a beautiful 18th century mansion house in the centre of Skopelos Town.
The displays document the paraphernalia of everyday life in a traditional Skopelos house with furniture and utensils from all over the island.
Most notable is a Skopelos wedding room complete with a bridal bed and beautiful hand-stitched and embroidered traditional wedding costumes. It also has a great collection of black-and-white photographs of the waterfront – how different it is today.
As well as embroidery there are examples of weaving and other handicrafts, some striking ceramics and various woodcarving as well as folk art. To cap it all in such a small house are some impressive nautical exhibits including fascinating models of sailing ships, making this a Skopelos sight not to miss.
