Στο μουσείο πραγματοποιείται προσωπική ξενάγηση με επεξήγηση όλων των χώρων μίας παραδοσιακής οικίας καθώς και πως αυτή εξελίχθηκε στο πέρασμα των χρόνων.Οι φωτογράφηση επιτρέπεται σε όλους τους χώρους.Δεν υπάρχει αντίτιμο εισόδου και οι δύο ξεναγοί είναι πολύ φιλικές!!Προτείνω να αφιερώσετε τα 20 λεπτά που απαιτεί η ξενάγηση!!!
Very interesting to see how people lived on the island in the 17th century to not long agoNot really a museum as such and really takes half an hour to see it all - donation onlyVery informative English speaking guide(who travelled on the bus from Chora with us!) But, it is out of the 'village' and there isn't a bus back for 3 hours! We ended walking back to Chora - it took 1 hour !It was interesting though!
You can access the museum in the afternoons; take the bus to Ano Meria form Chora at around 5pm and you'll find the friendly lady who acts as tour guide is on the same bus! She stays there between 5-8pm every day and will gladly give you a tour a a perfectly maintained 200 year old Cycladic home including threshing mill, olive press etc.
This folklore museum is OK, but really is only for hardcore history buffs. Otherwise, it serves as a key photo op location because its view back to the main cliff is fantastic. Unfortunately in recent years, an additional building which seems residential has been constructed directly in front of what used to be a clear shot. Sigh.....I am done. The end.
Πραγματικα αξιζει να το επισκεφτείτε, όλα τα αντικείμενα εχουν χαριστει στο μουσειο από τους κατοικους του νησιου. Ιδανικο μερος για να καταλάβετε τον τροπο ζωης των κατοικων τα παλια χρονια. Το μονο που παρατηρησα είναι οι φθορες στα αντικείμενα, ιδιαιτερα στα μεταλλικα και στα οπλα λογω κακης ή ανύπαρκτης συντηρησης.
This folklore museum is challenging to find, but well worth it if the owner is available and gives you a tour. You will see how Greek islanders lived in a subsistence fashion. You will see an olive press, wine press, wood fired bakery oven, farm implements, and a fully furnished home complete with crib and baby clothing. Donations are excepted, and the host is an elderly man who communicates quite well, even tho he does not speak English!
It is very interesting! You should go and see how local people used to live 100-200 years ago! If you visit folegandros you should go and visit this museum and you will learn a lot about this island! It's very cute and well-preserved place (themonia is called and it is a type of farm) and also it is entrance-free (you pay if you want to support their effort, so please do give some,it worths.)
A worth visit outdoor museum that introduces you to the way people in Folegandros used to live back to 100 and 150 years ago when the population to the island reaching the 10.000 people!! You can learn many things in that museum. Did you know that Folegandros has the longest 'xerolithia' masonry in all Mediterranean?
This place is a tiny gem. The site is the location of an old family compound, and you can see and imagine how they must have lived on the island years ago. The "curator" we met was very friendly and eager to explain it all to us. The stop doesn't take much time and it is definitely worthwhile.
This should be renamed the Folegandros Living History museum, not the folklore museum. It has well-preserved homes, tools, and cooking equipment from the last few centuries. The guide did a great job of explaining how people used to live on the island before electricity or cars. It was very informative. You do have to hike up a gravel road or path (don't take the path unless you want a workout!), so this is not easy to get to from the bus stop if you are disabled or have mobility issues. We had a baby in a very sturdy jogging stroller and were fine, but I wouldn't take a regular city stroller on the gravel road. Overall, this was a pleasant surprise!
