This museum is one of the first folklore and cultural museums in Greece. It is housed in the mansion of the Faltagides, an old aristocratic family of Skyros, with roots in Byzantium, of which Mr. Manos Faltaits is also a descendant. Many objects of the daily life of Skyros, from earlier times, rare embroideries and finally ceramics of traditional art are exhibited in the museum premises. Also of great interest are the museum's other exhibits, such as old manuscripts and documents, rare editions of books, works of art by famous sculptors and paintings by Manus Faltaits.
