Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation, Cultural museum in Nafplio, Greece.
The Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation Museum occupies a neoclassical building from the 19th century in the center of Nafplio, displaying regional costumes and artifacts.
Ioanna Papantoniou established the museum in 1974 to honor her father Vasilios, creating a space dedicated to researching Greek material culture and traditions.
