The Polygyros Folklore Museum started its operation in 1998. It is housed in the Karaganis house in the city center, and includes traditional costumes, agricultural tools and representation of an urban house of the early twentieth century. All the exhibits are donations of residents and citizens of Polygyros.
On the first floor the visitor has the opportunity to see the interior of a 19th century town house with reception rooms (lounge with sofas and low round tables, dining room, etc.), bedrooms (with metal beds, wardrobes and bedding), living room, kitchen all cooking appliances, cauldrons, pan, fireplace). In a separate room is the traditional loom. Authentic uniforms from the broader area of Polygyros are exhibited at various corners of the house, while Karagani’s mayor’s office was recently formed. The museum operates with the care and love of the members of the Voluntary Women’s Group Polygyros.
