Kitsos Makris Folklore Center is located in Volos, the capital of Magnesia.

The center is the result of a lifetime work by the important Greek folklorist Kitsos Makris (1917-1988). It is worth-noting that Kitsos Makris bequeathed his house to the University of Thessaly for the center's housing.

In Kitsos Makris Folklore Center, you will have a chance to see his folklore collection, his personal library and his archive, consisting of 4 thousand photographs and 2,500 slides, many of which depict fine objects of the folk tradition that do not survive today.

Among the many interesting exhibits of the folklore center, the following stand out:

• Works by the very important Greek painter Theophilos, who lived and worked in Volos for many years
• Mural paintings by Pagonides (father and son both painters) that decorated mansions in Pelion
• Paintings with marine themes by N. Christopoulos

One visit to Kitsos Makris Folklore Centre is enough, to give you a clear picture of the folk art and tradition of Magnesia.
