The Folklore Museum of Folegandros is in Ano Meria and it is hosted in a "thimonia".

This is a traditional 19th century farmhouse of Folegandros, which once was an autonomous agriculture and farming center.

The Folklore Museum of Folegandros gives visitors the chance to see how the typical farmhouse operated, as well as many other elements of past life in Folegandros. In the museum you will find various buildings such as a cellar, a mill, a cistern and a built-in oven. Upon entering the main house you will see the living room with the traditional loom, a chest, a cuisine with traditional utensils and a very special bedroom. The house is full of objects collected from various local houses, thus giving a pretty good image of how a traditional house in Folegandros was equipped.

As you stroll in the yard, you can still see a small threshing floor, a traditional wine press and the classic dry stone wall which protected the lemon tree of the house, one of the main sources on the island.

The Folklore Museum of Folegandros was created on the initiative of the "Folegandros" Cultural Association, aiming to preserve and promote the islands' traditions. Having chosen Folegandros for holidays, a visit to the Folklore Museum of Folegandros is a must.
