About This Museum
You'd never guess that tucked away on a quiet street in Kozani is a museum where you can walk from a traditional weaver's loom straight into the den of a prehistoric bear. This place is a delightful rabbit warren of local history, folklore, and the wild natural world of Western Macedonia, all under one roof. One moment you're admiring intricate traditional costumes, and the next you're face-to-face with the impressive skeleton of an Arkoudas, the cave bear that once roamed the region. It’s this unexpected blend of human culture and raw nature that makes it so captivating.
Collection Highlights
The folklore section bursts with vibrant textiles and fully recreated period rooms, while the natural history wing stars the massive cave bear skeleton and an array of local minerals. Don't miss the detailed displays of traditional craftsmen's tools, which tell a story of daily life long past.
