Museum of the History of the Greek Costume

The Museum of the History of Greek Costume occupies a two-story building at 7 Dimokritou Street, displaying approximately 25,000 pieces of traditional clothing and jewelry.

The museum collection began in 1911 when Callirrhoe Parren requested costumes from across Greece, forming the initial Museum Wardrobe of the National Costumes Section.

The museum exhibits regional costumes, jewelry, reproductions of Minoan attire, and classical Greek clothing that represent different social statuses and geographical origins.

The museum operates Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 14:00, remains closed in August, and does not provide wheelchair access to its exhibition spaces.

Queen Olga of Greece contributed a collection of porcelain dolls dressed in regional costumes to the museum in 1914.
