The Delinanios Folklore Museum (Greek: Δεληνάνειο Λαογραφικό Μουσείο) is a museum in Kastoria, West Macedonia, Greece.
History
The museum opened in November 1997. It was set up by the Progressive Ladies' Association and is housed in a three-storey 19th-century traditional town-house in the Doltso district, which belongs to the municipality of Kastoria[1] and located at 12 Riga Fereou Street.
The purpose of the museum is to highlight cultural heritage, to perpetuate folk culture, and to illustrate Kastorian hospitality.[1]

On the first floor are the everyday room and the summer bedroom and on the second floor the main sitting room and the winter bedroom. They display a rich collection of women's and men's clothing (mainly formal local costumes), underwear, needlework and embroidery, handwoven textiles, and a rich collection of family photographs and women's portraits from Kastorian communities abroad. All the exhibits date to the 19th and early 20th centuries. On the ground floor there is quite a rich collection of domestic utensils.[1]
