Traditional Greek handicrafts will get their own museum in Athens, the Ministry of Culture announced on Monday, according to greekreporter.com.
The museum will be hosted at the historical building of the printing and dyeing workshop “Hellenic Handkerchief Industry (BEM)” in Metaxourgeio, close to the center of Athens, which is now in the process of restoration for its conversion.
Greek authorities have given the green light for the conversion of the building in January 2021 which provides for a permanent exhibition, archive space, administrative offices, craft workshops, multi-purpose spaces, periodical exhibition space, dining area, and shops.
