What I can see

The Centre for the Study of Modern Pottery – Georgios Psaropoulos Family Foundation, is at the same time a Museum of Modern Pottery and is housed in a neoclassical building of 1875, which belonged to the Petropoulos family. An impressive collection of traditional vases from all over Greece, dating from the 16th to the middle of the 20th century, is housed here. The permanent collection is spread over three rooms and a semi-outdoor space, introducing us to traditional pottery and workshops with a hand wheel and workshops with or without a foot wheel. The museum also has rich photographic and other audiovisual material, representations, documents and other objects. In addition, the building includes a space for periodical exhibitions, spaces for events and educational programs, a library, a cafe and a shop.

What I can't see

In addition to being a museum, the space is a research and educational centre. In the area of periodical exhibitions, parts of the bequeathed to the foundation Betty Psaropoulou’s collection are often exhibited.
