Museum of Greek Folk Art in Athens
Greece, Athens

This charming little museum has gathered amazing embroideries and costumes from all over the country. Most of the embroidery, knitted and woven products were made by the girls as their dowry, which was supposed to serve them the rest of their lives after the wedding.
There is also a separate small room with amusing frescoes of gods and heroes, made by the eccentric folk artist Theofilos Hadzhimihael, who worked in the early 20th century.
