THE FOLKLORE MUSEUM The Skopelos Folklore Museum, where physical evidence of the land are found, was founded with an aim to project the cultural richness of the island and create a spiritual core equal to the traditions and its history. The building which houses the Folklore Museum was donated in 1991 by the Nikolaidis family to the Municipality of Skopelos. The old building was built in 1795 and maintained up to 1963, when the first and second floors collapsed due to earthquakes. The foundations of the building were re-built in 1971 based on the plans of the old building and it took the form it has today, maintaining all the internal and external characteristics of the traditional style of the settlement, which has been legally deemed as listed. The Folklore Museum of Skopelos opened its doors to the public in August 1992, giving back life to the old mansion of the previous century. Old women dug out their chests and offered all their treasures, and these became the collections material for the museum, where each item found its rightful place. Thus, a mansion from the previous century was set up, and although the absence of its residents is felt, it gives the impression that they are somewhere close and that sooner or later they will appear. Collections of the Skopelos Museum are made up of a number of traditional hand-made embroidered items that have been placed so as to decorate the sitting room, the fireplace or the area of the bridal bedroom, where all the dowry of the bride seems untouched by time. The ground floor contains the sitting area and the fireplace. The couch is decorated by wonderful embroidery. The furniture is wood-carved, works of the traditional craftsman of the island, and it completes the space with the appropriate majesty. The bridal bedroom with the other exhibits of the Museum beside it. The bridal bedroom with the baby’s crib and the swaddling clothes spread out next to it are on the second floor of the mansion. The other areas are covered by the guest room with sofas of that time, made from parts of the embroidery of the traditional bridal clothes
