The Museum of Silversmithing
At the first floor, the main part of the exhibition is developed, which refers to the history and technology of silversmithing in Epirus. The visitor can discover, through various display means, traditional techniques of shaping and decorating silverware objects. Moreover, the visitor can learn about the stages of each technique until the creation of the final product. The second floor presents the collection of silversmithing and goldsmithing of Epirus from the 18th to the 20th century. Fine art with ornate details such as jewellery, weapons and silverware of the house and personal items are some of the items that comprise the collection.
There are references in modern silversmithing with samples from the work of silversmiths, who are active today in the wider area, continuing a tradition of centuries.
The multipurpose hall hosts periodic exhibitions, arranges events, and organised cultural activities.
