The Folklore Museum of επιπλα Skopelos, is the beacon of the cultural heritage and tradition of local residents, honouring the past and preserving the knowledge for future generations.
The three-story building that houses the museum was donated by the family of John Nicolaides and is operating since 1993.
The museum hosts handiworks of great craftsmanship from the tenth and the twentieth century, traditional furniture, ceramic dishes created by the inhabitants, traditional clothing, agricultural tools and the workshop of John Lemonis who crafted carved knives.
Many of the arts of the past are fading as fewer young people sit to practice the arts of their grandfathers thus creating more and more the need for establishing such benchmarks of the cultural tradition of the area.
