 The Historical Archives Museum of Hydra Greece, Saronic: This museum was established in 1918 and it was housed in an elegant stone mansion that belonged to the local shipowner Gikas Koulouras. In 1996, the building was renovated and today it is the most impressive mansion at the port of Hydra. Next to the entrance, there are some old anchors, signs of the rich nautical impression of the island.
The museum hosts the historical archives that a former major of Hydra, Mr Lignos, found in the Church of Assumption of Virgin Mary. These archives include educational, administrative and religious archives, manuscripts from the Greek Revolution, old books, maps and others. The museum also hosts relics from the Balkans Wars and the two world wars, traditional costumes, carvings, naval instruments and painting works. |
