The Folklore and Historical Museum, an iconic museum of Komotini, was founded in 1973 and has been housed in its current location since 1989. However, its collection, which includes folk art objects, traditional costumes, and archival material, began to take shape, by the Cultural Association of Komotini, as early as the 1960s.

The archaeologist-museologist Nagia Dalakoura, with a case study of this particular Museum, presents a new approach to the exhibits of an ethnographic museum, using multisensory, experiential learning and creative writing as key tools, and implements the first museum educational act for adults at the Folklore and Historical Museum of Komotini.

Specifically, for the first time, in the Museum's exhibition context, adult representatives of six local associations participated in the process of a different approach to the museum's inventory, through the stimulation of sensory memory and the perception of the exhibits as speaking "subjects."

Under the guidance of the museum educator, within the framework of adult learning and transformative multisensory knowledge, by practicing creative writing techniques, they produced original texts and overturned the established museum choice of distant viewing of the exhibits, proving that museums can become spaces for cultivating critical and creative thinking, fields of interaction and creativity.
