This museum is housed in an 18th century house. Inside are displays of pottery, toys, ships, an old kitchen and other articles from the 19th century. We were told when they dug down they found a room below which they think pirates used.
The museum is free but they request a donation. It is open from April - October, Monday - Saturday 3:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. and Sunday 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

This museum is small but interesting and gives a good feel of what Mykonos was like in the old days. Also free in...

Well it's not as great as other museum that we've seen. But Mykonos town is quite a small place and there's no harm in stopping by and pay a visit - it won't take long. The goods: this place is actually the oldest house in mykonos town. The owner collects a lot of artefact and historical items. The keeper is very friendly and know his history well. You can ask almost anything about the history of mykonos. The downside: the place needs renovation and restoration, it's dusty and packed with stuff - but completely understood since this place is free of tickets. It's more like a guided tour into some old house than a museum.

Greek Tourism app listed hours as 16:30-19:30. We waited until 16:45, but no one came to open it. Our hotel staff confirmed that it is not likely open. Enjoyed the short hike and the view.

Makes for a nice exterior picture - interesting building all by itself. They need to expand or adopt the motto "less is more" - way too much stuff inside to make sense of.

Enjoyable wee museum with plenty of Mykonos' history on show. The curator was very happy to teach us about artifacts we found interesting which we really appreciated. No entry fee however a donation was well in order by the time we left.
Considering how small the town is, there's no reason to leave this off of your to do list.

The Folklore Museum was supposed to be closed for cataloging but the guides let us in for a look around any way.
The place is amazing, not like a formal "behind glass" museum but more like a step back in time to another era.
The staff were really friendly and were keen to answer all our questions on the contents of the house, a great way to pass some time.

I do recommend seeing this small museum. It's unique, free, and in a central location.
This may have been the strangest museum I've ever been too. It looked like an indoor garage sale with minimal organization. Some highlights were: a 10 foot model ship, mannequins in traditional garb, four sewing machines, and a paper mache pelican.

Small charming museum. I wish they had a bigger budget to better showcase those pieces of Mykonos history. Easy to find by the water. For those who want to see more than shops, shops, shops in town.
