This year, the Telecommunications Museum changes its form and transforms into something different each time depending on the type of educational programme! It becomes a Puppet Theatre, Art Academy, Stem Engineering Workshop, Music Academy, Fire Brigade, Post Office, Clay Workshop, Gallery, Storytelling Workshop, Re-Use Lab and more…
For the 2nd year we continue the online art workshops for the remote primary schools of the region, with new original workshops.
With group tours, educational programmes and activities for schools and families, we invite you both at the museum in Nea Kifissia and online to a unique experience of creation and exploration!
