​

The Historical and Folk Art Museum of the Municipality of Maroussi was founded in 1991. It has been in operation since 1994 and is the result of a long-standing effort to preserve the local cultural heritage.

​

From 1994 to 2010, it has been housed in many places in Maroussi, the first being on Panagi Kyriakou Str. (1994-1997) and the last on Dimitriou Ralli Str. (1999-2010).

​

All this time the Museum never ceased to enrich its collection, which today comprises about 1,500 objects, representatives of all reflects of the inhabitants’ lives.

​

At the new museum premises, at Vassilissis Olga Str., the exhibition’s planning guides the visitor to get to know the local history and tradition through three thematic sections: the first includes exhibits that revive the local history through the people who created it, the second represents as far as possible a residential environment, and the third is dedicated to the clothing typology that prevailed in the late 19th and in the early 20th century.
