The Museum of Hellenic Culture is located in the city center of Kalambaka and houses the private collection of Mr Pavlos Balogiannis in a space of 1000 sq.meters dedicated to the history of Greek education and learning, aspiring to serve its educational and cultural orientation. The museum aims at the preservation,study, promotion and encancement of Greek Education and its values and hopes to establish a strong collection between the visitor and the greek letters and culture in a simple, experidential way and become a cultural center that provides education, learning and science. The presentation of the collection is perfectly centered to the needs of the modern visitor.

A simple AMAZING musuem, an ode to Greece. A visit will help you either learn or recognise critical items from different centuries of Greek education. Learn about Greek education, Greek toys and childhood through decades or centuries, see how books have been implemented (or not!!!) from last century and get a reminder of Aesop’s tales. Play with children's toys of the previous century and see how schoolchildren were "educated" through 19th and 20th century. The stuff is extremely helpful, we have been offered a detailed and interesting tour that lasted more than an hour. We felt very lucky that we have the chance to find and visit a true diamond like this. Be sure that you don't miss it if you visit Meteora!

I am often amazed at just how good some local museums are in Greece, and this is simply superb. The items on display are stunning, I particularly enjoyed the neolithic section, which is of immense importance, and this museum has a vast collection. All the rest of the museum is excellent too ! The displays are imaginative, and very well laid out. The staff are informative and helpful. This region has a great wealth of ancient history, brilliantly captured here. The dominant language of the information given is in Greek, obviously, but much of it is also in English too. I'd like to see more in English, as some items had no translations. I would also suggest some more interesting sales items in the small shop, as it is dominated by books in Greek, which sadly, I can't read. Overall, I much congratulate the museum staff on a great job.
