The Folklore Museum contains objects of folk art, particularly useful objects, photographs, and souvenirs of locals, embroidery and a traditional Nisyrian kitchen. Recently it has joined the island’s Folk Art Museum and is housed in the House of Irene Patrikis opposite the church of Potamitissa, the Cathedral Church of Mandraki.

The Museum is located in Nikia and its privileged position at the top of the caldera offers a panoramic view of the inside of the caldera and the volcano. In this traditional village there used to be an abandoned school, which was restored by the relevant programme and after appropriate transformations and layout arrangements in the building now hosts the Museum. The museum brings life to the village and contributes to the overall tourism growth on the island providing the base of developing another part of alternative tourism.
