The Ethnological Museum of Thrace was founded with the purpose of preserving historical memory in the wider region of Thrace and is a self-funded organization. Since 1899 it has been operating in Alexandroupolis in a leased, stone-built neoclassical building that dates from 1899.
The Museum has been open to the public since October 2002. It is self financed project and at times it is also sponsored by the Stauros Niarhos Foundation and the Ministry of Culture.
Τhe Ethnological Museum of Thrace is a great place where people can learn about the folk culture and the customs of Thrace, and an area that allows all visitors to connect tradition and the memory contained within it with the concerns of modern society.
The purpose of the museum is to study, project, and promote the Thracian culture. All the exhibits are organized in such a way so that visitors can get a full picture of the traditional way of life in Thrace, especially in the North Evros prefecture from the late 17th century to the early 20th century."
