Museums in Mykonos

The island’s Archaeological Museum offers visitors an insight on the island’s rigorous past exhibiting artefacts found from a diversity of archaeological sites throughout the island, but also Delos and Rhenia. The Folklore Museum is also an inspiring choice, as it displays the locals’ past ways of life. You will view clothing, kitchen and household items and utensils as well as farming tools, furniture and much more! The Public Museum is also exquisite and equally impressive as the latter two, where you’ll get to view a rare coin collection originating from the 18th century.
