FOLKLORE MUSEUM OF CHANIA

(tel. 28210 90814)

Most of the collection includes representations of either agricultural work (ploughing, sowing, harvesting, threshing, pressing grapes), or domestic occupations, such as the preparation of daily food, weaving on the loom, or the processing of raw materials and for embroidery and textiles.

There are still depictions of the workplace of traditional tradesmen such as the shoemaker, tailor, ropemaker and basket maker. Decorative objects, everyday items, musical instruments and furniture are also exhibited here. Also of great interest are the museum's collection of textiles and embroideries (a small part of which is displayed hanging on the walls), the human effigies in traditional clothing, as well as furniture such as the bridal bed and the living room sofa.
