Historical & Folklore Museum of Adiparos
The Historical and Folklore Museum of Antiparos is a creation born out of sensitivity and love for the cultural elements related to the region and, by extension, to the Cyclades and the Aegean.
This sensitivity and the desire to contribute and create led the Alexandros Kontoyiorgos family and the Municipality of Antiparos to collaborate, resulting in this Museum. The A. Kontoyiorgos family donated, without any compensation, cultural objects to the Municipality of Antiparos, which originated from the ANTHEMIO Museum, a creation of the long-term and painstaking efforts of Kyriaki Ragousi.
The Municipality of Antiparos secured and arranged the building and other facilities required for such an endeavor. One could say that the result is unique for the cultural standards of the region. In a tasteful and spacious building in the center of the settlement, the collections are displayed, which will be enriched with new items over time. These cultural assets form unified sets (collections) with particular historical and scientific value for Antiparos and the wider region.
