Housed in a former wayside inn (hani), the Hani Exhibition Museum celebrates the rich history and culture of Kos.
Originally designed to provide shelter and stabling for travellers and their animals, the building has since been renovated and restored. Today, it serves as a vibrant centre for preserving and displaying the island’s folklore and cultural heritage.
Located in the heart of Kos Town, directly opposite Casa Romana, this cultural centre is strategically positioned among other significant archaeological sites, such as the Roman Gymnasium and the Altar of Dionysus.
The Hani Exhibition Museum offers a fascinating insight into Kos’s historical, cultural, and artistic heritage. It hosts a variety of significant cultural events, temporary exhibitions and art shows, ensuring that there is always something new and exciting for visitors to experience. The museum’s vibrant calendar of events makes it a dynamic cultural hub for both locals and tourists alike.
Furthermore, the museum is home to the Wind Band of Kos Municipality, adding a musical dimension to its cultural offerings. The presence of the band within the museum’s premises underscores its role as a key cultural institution on the island.
