Traditional Pottery
The Museum of Traditional Pottery is housed in a beautiful
neo-classical building, built in 1875. In the rooms of the museum,
one can see the different types of workshops, which used to operate
in various areas of Greece, like Crete, Cyclades, Lesbos and
Messenian Gulf.
Some of the workshops produced small objects, using the
foot-operated wheel. Others made large vessels, without the use of a
wheel or others made large vessels too on a type of hand-operated
wheel.
Replicas, a big variety of objects, as well as maps, plans,
photographs, texts and extensive audio-visual means will help people
comprehend the whole access of pottery production.
Ceramic masterpieces (made by traditional patterns), books... are
found in Museum Shop, beside the Museum Cafe.
