“A Night at the Museum” in Neapoli!

Author Discover Crete

Culture

The Municipality of Agios Nikolaos, in collaboration with the Cultural and Folklore Society of Apano Merabello (P.L.E.A.M.) and the Local Community of Neapoli, invites children to a unique nighttime experience at the Neapoli Folklore Museum, in the historic Old Gymnasium building.

The event “A NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM” is designed for elementary school children, offering them a chance to play, create, discover folk heritage items, and – most enchantingly – sleep among them!

Each child must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the evening.

In this space full of memories, the museum becomes a refuge of imagination and creativity, with activities, games, storytelling, and a Karagiozis shadow puppet show, offering a deep, hands-on connection to Greek tradition.
