E.H.M. - Society for Epirotic Studies
The museum stretches today on a total area of 600 square meters of the more recent three-storied traditional building with stone walls and a symmetric formation on the openings of its facets, and on some additional 250 square meters of the newly built basement.
It was built between 1800 and 1808 and belonged to a rich muslim family. Prior to the liberation it was housing a Turkish elementary school and after the liberation (1913) it was hosting various educational institutions.
In 1976, the state sold it to the Society for Epirotic Studies (EHM) that remodeled its interior to house the "Kostas Frontzos Museum of Epirus' Folk Art".
The quality and the quantity of the collection of the museum's exhibits is unique for the region of Epirus and is considered as one of the most significant and equal in value to other relevant collections. The EHM building has now been completely restored. Leave a Comment

The Byzantine Museum is housed in one of the buildings of the acropolis, inside the castle of Ioannina. The central section was built in the 1960's as a Royal Pavilion. The museum was opened to the public in 1995. The collection of the silver items is housed in a separate 19th century building on the acropolis (the ex powder magazine of Ali-pasha), and the exhibition is going to be arranged in several more buildings of the acropolis, as well.
The museum contains collections of early Christian and Byzantine sculptures, excavation findings from Arta, pottery, manuscripts and early editions of printed books, post-Byzantine icons and silver items.

It is housed in a three storey renovated old building owned by the association, at Michael Angelou street. It began functioning 21 years ago, and with the appropriate arrangements of the inside areas it became very convinient to the visitors. It presents rare smaples of traditional regional craftmanship, clothing, jewellery, tools and other objects. Leave a Comment

It is sited within the Castle to the NW acropolis and housed in Aslan mosque, built in 1618 by Aslan-pasha. Commander Aslan Zulfikar, a Turk from Ioannina, named Good Pasha, built it after repressing in 1611 the rebellion of Dionyssios the Philosopher. After having seen finished his work, he died the same year (1618) and was declared saint by his co-believers. His tomb is behind the mosque. His ruined mansion is near the north Walls.
Aslan mosque is the landmark of Ioannina.
The articles exhibited in the museum are: local costumes, handwovens, woodcuts, silverware, jewels etc. An outstanding article is the General Karaiskakis' damask sword. The mosque was converted into museum in 1933 and rearranged in 1957.

The Municipal Museum is housed inside the Aslan Pasha mosque on the opposite side of the Kastro from the Its Kale. The museum itself is a bit weird: its collection, which is small, is further subdivided into Christian, Muslim and Jewish to mark the three confessional communities that inhabited Ioannina before 1923. It holds mainly costumes and everyday items, although there are religious items, like Jewish prayer shalls and copies of the Koran, as well.

The Paul Vrellis Wax Museum, 13 km south of Ioannina, is worthing a visit. As you wind through the enormous complex along dark, dank, rock-encased walkways, revolutionary figures peek out of simulated cave environments. There are surprises at every turn, many involving soldiers with ghastly bloody wounds or otherworldly historical figures. Undoubtedly the favourite scene is the Murder of Ali Pasha. Set in Ali's monastery hideaway, it features "kra Vassiliki" Ali's Greek wife, walking serenely away from a comically gory scene, a severed head at her feet. In one corner, a man looks in horror at his realistically-rendered severed foot, while overhead, Ali's headless body hangs over a balcony. At the end, you are treated to a hologram of the Acropolis and a reproduction of Vrellis himself, in his workshop creating the wax figure of an Orthodox priest. If you are lucky, Vrellis himself, a former war captive and algebra teacher, might greet you and explain his vision for the museum, the only one of its kind in all of Greece.*******The museum is open everyday from 10.00 - 16.00*****Entrance Fee (as for 2001):1600 GRD 1000, 500 for students, senior citizens free for children up to 7 years old, military personnel, the handicapped (from http://www.greeceworld.com/archae.htm) Leave a Comment Address: http://www.culture.gr/4/42/421/42103/42103l/e42103Phone: +30-26510-92128, 0932 407116Directions: You could get there by taking the city bus (Number 5) from Theodoridi street.
