On the island of Skopelos, in its eponymous capital is a small but very interesting museum of folk art. The main purpose of the museum is to preserve and promote the local traditions and history.

The house in which the museum is located, has three floors and is in the traditional architectural style. Earlier this place was a building dating back to 1795, but as a result of a strong earthquake in 1963 it was almost completely destroyed. In 1971 we began large-scale restoration work. Due to the plans and drawings of the old building was able to recreate all the architectural elements that are typical noble house of the 18th century. In 1991, the family Nikalaydes (home owners) gave it as a gift to the municipality of Skopelos. In August 1992, the museum opened its doors to visitors.

The collection, gathered in the museum, perfectly illustrates the life and the life of the local population, since the second half of the 19th century. Here you can see furniture, ceramics and wood, various instruments, traditional costumes, embroidery, paintings, photographs, decorative items, ship models and much more. Of particular interest are well-equipped so-called "wedding room" with a children's cradle, and a living room with traditional furniture and fireplace located on the first floor. On the ground floor is a collection of various agricultural tools and household utensils, and the second floor housed a traditional workshop for making decorative knives.

Folk Art Museum regularly organizes various exhibitions and educational programs. The museum is popular with locals and guests of Skopelos.
