The Historical Museum "Skoufa" is located in the city of Arta.

The Historical Museum "Skoufa"aims at covering the history of Arta from the ancient times up until today. Each room of the museum is dedicated to an era of the city and through scenographic compositions, the visitor learns about the history of Arta in a simple and understandable way.

From the hall of ancient Amvrakia, dominated by King Pyrrhus, you can pass to the byzantine room and then enjoy a tour of the castle of Arta, which is a creation of the Komnenos family. Following on, there is a room dedicated to the era of the Ottoman occupation, and of course a section dedicated to the famous Bridge of Arta.

Finally, one of the museum rooms is the office of Petros Garoufalias, a greek politician from Arta that has donated a lot to the museum and it is thus full of his personal belongings.

The museum is organized and operated by the particularly active Musical Association "Skoufas» (www.skoufas.gr), which since 1896, when it was first founded by prominent citizens of Arta, has a leading role in the cultural life of the city. Under the auspices of the club also operate the Folklore museum "Skoufa" and the Library of Arta, with over 25,000 book volumes.
