Μουσείο Μουσικών Οργάνων του Κόσμου

This museum is housed in the Monastery of the Annunciation and it is the only one of its kind in Greece. It hosts 500 exhibits from the collection (1600 pieces) of Anna Deligianni, who in the 70s had collected musical instruments from around the world. They are traditional instruments - strings, percussion instruments, wind instruments- made of various materials. Some examples of originality are the instruments that come from Africa and are made of corn leaves or Humanitarian Aid boxes. In the museum you can also see Indian sitars, bells, martial trumpets and other items.
