Kitsos Makris Folklore Centre in Volos

The "Kitsos Makris Folklore Centre" is located at the home of the folklorist situated in Anavros in Volos, at Kitsos Makris Street, 38. It includes his folklore collection, his library, consisting of 4,000 volumes of books and his archive, with 2,500 slides and 4,000 photographs, many of which illustrate treasures of folk tradition that have not survive today.

After his death in 1988 and according to his own wish, all the above donated by his family, along with the house that hosts them, to the Supreme Cultural Foundation of our region, the “University of Thessaly", in order the "Folklore Center of Kitsos Makris" to act as Folk Museum and Research Center.

The house of Kitsos Makris was built in 1955 by the architect Argyris Filippidis from Volos. It is a two-storey house of an area of 180 sq. m. It is a characteristic house inspired by the traditional architecture of Pelion, in which the traditional morphological used elements have been remodeled and fit perfectly with the contemporary creation, without the sterile form of copying homes in the later years.
