I write to you because I am interested to help in the opening of a folk museum in Greece and we do not know from where to start! We have in our hands very good material and we would like to begin the effort with the idea to creating a familiar space for children in particular, where apart from a brief visit they can take part to educational programs around the themes of the museum! Please feel free to comment! Thanks!
