Drossinis Museum

The Drossinis Museum is a biographical collection and library in Kifisia housed in the first-floor halls of Amaryllis villa. The building contains manuscripts, photographs, and personal items from the writer's life, with the Municipal Library of Kifisia located on the ground floor.

The museum was established in 1997 to preserve the legacy of Georgios Drossinis, a 19th-century writer and educator who shaped modern Greek literature. His work was central to how Greece approached literary education during his lifetime and beyond.

The museum displays archives of the Estia newspaper and materials showing how Drossinis shaped Greek education and literary thought. Visitors can see the lasting impact of his work on the country's intellectual development.

The museum is located at Agion Theodoron and Kyriakou Street in Kifisia, making it accessible from the main residential area. Set aside enough time to browse the manuscripts, photographs, and personal objects arranged throughout the exhibition halls.

The Folk Hall features clay figures depicting characters from the writer's stories, created by sculptor Angeliki Vlachopoulou. These handmade sculptures offer an unusual view of how his literary creations were interpreted through visual art.
