Various types of colored shadow theatre figures - Spathareion Museum of the Shadow Theatre

 

Spathareion Museum of the Shadow Theatre



The Museum of Shadow Theatre was founded in 1965 by Eugene Spatharis and includes his own and his father's collections dating from 1947. There are also Greek and foreign-language books on shadow and puppet theatre as well as posters, programs and press cuttings.

The museum houses a retrospective exhibition of figures and accessories of Greek shadow theatre from 1860 to the present. The museum's aim is to develop its educational character, that is, to make the subject more widely known to the general public and to inform the younger generation about the various phases and historical development of this art of Greek traditional and folk theatre.
