The Union of Pontians of Pieria, one of the oldest and most historic unions of the Prefecture of Pieria and Greece, was founded in 1928. It is a point of reference as well as a creative force for the Pontic Hellenism of Katerini and Pieria.
The Union has a rather interesting folklore museum which was created in 1990. The museum exhibits more than 600 objects of social, folklore and historical interest. These are relics that the Pontians of Pieria brought from various regions of their unredeemed homelands.
The objects on display in the museum vividly describe the history and daily habits of the Pontians.
Among them you will admire old uniforms and costumes, household utensils, representation of rooms with old furniture, decorations and textiles, crockery, household utensils, woven embroideries as well as old photographs.
The collection is permanently exhibited on the 2nd floor of the privately owned building of the Pontian Union of Pieria, in an area of 200 m², in the center of Katerini, behind the Municipal Park.
