Mykonian hand-woven cloths fabrics. Nevertheless, there is still one or two women on the island who weave unique items made of wool or cotton, keeping alive this handicraft tradition of past centuries. The Collection of Mykonian Hand-Woven Textiles is stored in the large oak armoire in Hall I, 755 fabric samples in plastic covers, displaying an outstanding variety of colors and designs. Accompanying the samples are a series of photograph albums and an informative summary about hand-woven textiles, created with the co-operation of the folklorist Alki Kiriakidi-Nestoros, friend and colleague of the Museum.
