Μουσείο

The Centre for the Study of Modern Pottery -The Foundation of G. Psaropoulos Family- was founded in 1987 by Betty Psaropoulou with the aim at housing articles and information collected by herself in the course of her extensive research and wide traveling all over Greece.
Since 1987 the CSMP has become an institution functioning as a museum, research and educational centre intending to preserve and make known to the public the modern Greek pottery of domestic use dating back from the early19th century up to now.
The Centre for the Study of Modern Pottery owns a big collection of articles. Its classification is based on geographical regions and on type.
The collection consists of over 5000 earthenware articles of any kind, coming from all the regions of the Greek territory in which the production of pottery was developed during the modern times. The Centre has an original archive which consists of maps, sketches, writings, interviews, photographs, films.

The Library of the Centre comprises a large number of monographies, minutes of conferences, catalogues and reprints. It covers subjects on the techniques and history of pottery (mainly of modern times), Archeology, History, Folk Culture, Ethnology etc.
It is open from Monday-Friday 10:00-14:00

At the Museum Shop, visitors can purchase authentic ceramic objects made by the last traditional craftsmen, as well as the works of distinguished modern ceramists. The shop also stocks all the publications of the Centre for the Study of Modern Pottery, postcards, and videos.
