Description

This free museum offers a delightful experience for anyone who is fond of the Greek tradition of karagiozi (shadow puppets). It showcases the work of renowned puppeteer Haridimos (Sotiris Haritos), with few English labels. However, visitors are still able to follow the narrative through the displays. On the upper floor, a life-like replica of "old Athens" can be seen with the various shops, such as a typesetter, photo studio, barber, and more.
