Established in 1991, this museum in the Plaka district, near the Roman Agora, is three floors of aesthetically and ethnologically valuable instruments housed in an old Athenian mansion. The collection’s existence is largely thanks to the research of musicologist Fivos Anoyanakis.
The displays are divided up by the materials used to make each instrument and the types of instruments. Several displays include samples of music for visitors to listen to.
In the second building, visitors can find the Research Centre, archives and storerooms, a lecture hall, and a museum shop.
