Lefkada Orpheus Folklore Museum

Location: Town

The Orpheus Folklore Museum in Lefkada: The Orpheus Folklore Museum was founded by the Musical and Literature Association Orpheus, which also runs a radio station, a choir, a musical and a theatrical school on the island of Lefkada. The museum opened its doors in 1978.

Its collections include important exhibits of objects and items from the everyday life of the Lefkadian people, e.g. dresses, tools, textiles, looms and hand-made items, among others. In addition, the Orpheus Folklore Museum has a room modified to look exactly like a traditional Lefkadian house, in order to get a better idea of the island's culture.
