Hotels near Natural History Museum of Meteora & Mushroom Museum

Natural History Museum of Meteora and Mushroom Museum is located in the city of Kalambaka, very close to Meteora. Essentially, there are two museums housed in a building of 1100 m2 that host two permanent collections: The first one is about animals and contains approximately 350 species of mammals and birds, while the second one is about mushrooms and contains approximately 250 species of mushrooms. The collection of animals consists of high quality embalmed birds and mammals, made by Europe's best taxidermists, while some of them are very rare. The mushroom collection consists of handmade mushroom sculptures maintaining the similarity of colors, shapes and size. They are presented in three stages of development, so that the visitor forms a complete picture of mushroom's life circle. The sculptures were created one by one by high skilled sculptors of the wider local region. However, it is not just the quality of the exhibits that makes our Museum great, but also the way of presentation, which is very unique for greek standards and it can be compared with other similar european museums. Animals and mushrooms are presented into dioramas which depict exactly the natural terrain where they live and grow into(i.e. woods, wetlands etc.). The result of the dioramas is magnificent and ravishing to both young and older visitors, a fact that is reflected daily in the guestbook of the Museum, as well as on our Facebook page. Phrases such as "wonderful representation", "theatrical scenery", "huge work of art", "pioneering effort", "unique effort" etc., are just few of the comments of our visitors. This is one of the reasons that during these few months of our operation, our Museum has often been the main theme for reportages by the majority of Greek media and social media, a fact which presumably indicates the value and the quality of the project. Also, as part of the effort to expand the Museum's activity, there is our Artspace with a permanent exhibition of paintings and sculptures of local artists. The artists explore projects similar to Museum's theme, connecting the natural and cultural heritage through their own artistic experience and way of expression. Finally, it is essential to be mentioned that the University of Athens, which is our official scientific advisor, supports the function of the museum as well as the provided information. It is obvious that our museum can satisfy the most demanding visitor with both its aesthetic and its provided information. Furthermore, your visit does not stop here! It continues to the Museum's cafe where you can enjoy your coffee enjoying the view of the rocks of Meteora and it ends at the Museum's souvenir shop where you have the opportunity to buy unique souvenirs, as well as a big variety of wild edible mushrooms of excellent quality, placed in a unique product packaging. These products of greek nature, having the logo and guarantee of the Museum, can be an ideal and a very tasty gift. Most of the mushrooms are collected from surrounding areas, which are famous not only for their mushroom quantity, but also for the quality. This is why, the Museum has compiled a list of activities related to mushrooms, which essentially constitutes a new touristic product and enriches uniquely the planned visit in the area of Meteora. These activities include seminars providing basic information about mushrooms, visits upon the mountain for mushroom picking, mushroom cooking, lunch or dinner with mushrooms accompanied by greek modern and traditional music and other activities that are listed more detailed in the relevant list which is at your disposal. In conclusion, one can understand that this is not an ordinary museum where everything is static. It is a museum with a special dynamic, trying to variously satisfy the requirements of its visitors. This is why visiting our Museum can be a unique experience.

    Great little museum
    A great museum especially about the mushrooms. Can't say I ever thought about mushrooms before but will going forward. A great collection and very informative. They even give you a taste of some. Nice stop after visiting the monasteries. 6 euro entry fee

    Don't miss!
    A charming museum! The "jewellery" stuffed animals exhibited against the art background of their natural environment fascinated us. The mushroom museum on the second floor was extremely interesting with the information about so many different types of mushrooms and of course the way they were presented! Don't miss the shop with the friendly staff too and buy Julius Caesar's favorite dried mushrooms ;)!

    It's a must!
    Very interesting exhibits and a very spot-on and illuminating tour. The museum's guide was very good and helpful. Would definitely recommend it. At the end of the tour, you can visit the shop and choose from a wide variety of products from mushrooms to drink or eat to merch.

    Battery-filling experience
    The whole experience was really battery-filling. The people who accompanied us in the truffle hunting were knowledgeable, more than keen to assist us with anything we needed and thumbs up to the cook who prepared an awesome meal for us. They also served wine and drinks which paired with the food. After that to wind down, we were offered a tour of the museum from a tour guide who really knew her stuff. Highly recommend it!

    Unexpectedly captivating
    We had some extra hours during our visit to the Meteora and decided to go to the Natural History Museum. once there, we decided to purchase the audio guide for 2€ and we are very glad we did. The information provided by the audio tour in congection to the collection of the Museum made for a very informative and interesting visit. The young employees of the Museum answered all our questions and more, proving to be not only exceptionally knowledgable but also extremely patient, polite and communicative. The Museum itself has two sections: one is dedicated to wildlife from various parts of the world, with a focus on birds. There is a special area dedicated to the wildlife of the Meteora region. The second section of the Museum is the Mushroom Museum which we also found interesting. Do not miss the Mushroom Museum gift shop, which among others, sells chocolates with mushrooms! we purchased one and we were intrigued by how well it tasted. I would budget 1-1.5 hours if you do the audio tour.

    A hidden gem
    Popped into the museum on my final morning in Meteora. Truly, a hidden gem, you come here for the incredible stones but this museum shows there is much more to the area, to Greece and to the world. Taxidermy was of the best quality I think I've ever seen and the display was beautiful. The mushroom museum also, absolutely wonderful and informative. Definitely pop in here!

    Happy time at the museum
    The museum is great for anyone who is curious about nature. Plenty of beautiful animals to see and of intriguing mushrooms to ogle at. You leave the place feeling fulfilled and curious about little things. That is also thanks to the lovely staff who are very friendly and who happily share their knowledge of the surroundings' natural life. I recommend the museum to anyone passing through the area, it is a quick visit and it will brighten your day. Lots of fun objects at the gift shop too !

    A must place to visit with the family.
    An excellent place to visit with the family. The staff were so helpful and friendly. A wonderful display of taxidermied animals from all around the world. Also an informative display of mushrooms. The gift shop is a must! This is the first time I tried candied mushrooms & mushroom chocolate. Delicious!

    Amazing surprise
    What an impressive museum! Small, but such quality, I was really impressed. Actually, I never seen a Mushroom museum and I didn't expected what I found in Meteora Museum. Such a great care about the displays, artistic presentations and the birds and the animals exposed are in a really great shape. I love it so much. You will find parking spaces around and the shop inside the museum offers adorable tings, from souvenirs to bags with dried mushrooms, sweets and bags of tea. If you go to Meteora, please stop for 1 hour and visit this pearl.
