EXHIBITION GUIDE

In December 1992 the Folklife Museum organized an exhibition on the traditional culture of Florina. The exhibition approached the popular culture of the region from various perspectives: the geographical-historical dimension, nutrition, architecture, clothing, trade and vocations, communications, social organization and the life of the community.

The exhibition guide is designed to teach the reader more about the everyday life of the region, as it evolved from the late 19th to mid-20th century, and as it has largely remained up until the present day, in each of the above areas. The wealth of photographs illustrating the guide, with its useful maps of the region, makes this an indispensable companion for anyone interested in the life of the Florina area yesterday and today.
