This very small museum is free, and great. Three floors of traditional Greek instruments, with information in Greek and english. There are some videos of people playing music, and headphones you can put on to listen to traditional music. Beautiful handmade instruments. About an hour or an hour and a half to see and really digest everything.

If you're a musician, you don't want to miss this. The history of clarinets and bagpipes was particularly interesting.

Really cool collection of Greek folk instruments. Granted, as a musician, I find it really fascinating, but I suspect even a non-musician who appreciates music enough will enjoy it. Despite some earlier reviews and a website I found which claims free admission, there is a cost of €3. Small price to pay, imho.

Small museum with traditional folk music instruments. But what an intresting surprise. Well presented and to the point. Free enterance and easy to find. Worth a visit. Don't miss the audio samples with traditional music from various greek regions

Very interesting collection of Greek musical instruments. I appreciate that headphones are there for people who want to listen to the sounds of the instruments. Some headphones were not working. But can’t complain because it’s a free exhibit. All in all a must-go for music buffs.

The collection of instruments is big and covers a wide range of periods. It's correctly organized and invites to discover it. The text are not so long. The temporal exhibition about the Greek revolution is well integrated and supplements the permanent exhibition. Sadly the personal don't speak good english and even in 2022 they still haven't found a way to play the recordings (the headphones were not there due to corona). It's sad to see the Instruments and not hear them.
