Ethnological museum of Thrace

The museum offers guided tours and educational programs for both individual visitors and organized groups. It welcomes everyone interested in learning about how people lived in this region.

The museum also collects personal stories and memories shared by residents from the region. These oral accounts connect old practices with today's understanding and give the objects a human side.
