Spathario Museum preserves the world of Greek shadow theatre, especially the Karagiozis tradition and the work of master puppeteer Eugenios Spatharis. Figures, sets, posters, and performance material explain an art form that once carried satire, folk humor, and social commentary to broad audiences.
It is outside the main Athens sightseeing circuit, so it suits travelers with a specific interest in folk performance or families looking for something different. Check opening hours carefully before making the trip.
