The Museum

Discover the Emotions Museum!

A unique, in the world, interactive museum about emotions!

A museum for the exploration and creative expression of emotions, through art, fairytales and interactive play with the exhibits. Based on Hands On, Minds On, and Hearts On principles.

Each exhibit is a small work of art, an activity, a fairy tale, available in our hands, to help us explore the inner world of emotions.

Founded in 2006, it is a member of the HOI «Hands On International» International Council of Children's Museums and the Network of Museums and Cultural Organizations of Athens..

THE MUSEUM’S PHILOSOPHY

All the activities of the museum are based on the recognition of the immeasurable value that the emotional cultivation has for our growth.

Emotions are our inner compass that guides us in our lives.They help us process stimuli, situations, and events from our environment, understand ourselves, the world around us and find our own meaning in life.

When we support and encourage self-awareness in children and teenagers, we help them grow into creative and happy adults with a will for life and its challenges.

"More than anything, guard your heart, the source of all life"
