Asia Minor museum "Filio Chaidemenou", Historical museum in Nea Filadelfeia, Greece.

The Asia Minor Museum "Filio Chaidemenou" holds traditional costumes, photographs, household objects, and personal mementos that document the lives of Greeks who lived in Asia Minor. The collection spans everyday items and artifacts that piece together how this community lived before the exchanges occurred.

The museum focuses on the experiences of Greeks who were displaced during the population exchanges between Greece and Turkey in the early 1920s. Personal accounts and belongings preserved here tell the story of departure and the beginning of new lives in Greece.

The collection shows how Greek families from Asia Minor organized their daily lives and kept their traditions alive through generations. Visitors can see the crafts, clothing styles, and household practices that shaped the identity of this displaced community.

The museum is located in Nea Filadelfeia and is accessible by public transportation. Visitors who want to explore the full scope of the collection should plan for adequate time to read descriptions and absorb the stories behind each item.

The collections were assembled by Filio Chaidemenou, who dedicated her life to this mission and created a personal archive of Asia Minor Greeks. Many objects were given to her directly by survivors of displacement, carrying their individual stories within them.
