Thracian Museum of Education of the Educational Sciences Association

The Thracian Museum of Education of the Educational Sciences Association was founded in 1992 to collect and exhibit school objects, documents and books of historical importance, mainly Thracian and of the wider area. Such museums are currently scarce in our country and it is worth noting that, perhaps, is the only rich collection with photographs and a series of wonderful saved school objects that counts approximately two centuries of life. The Museum of Science in Educational Society is a proper educational place, such as a school, and a visitor gets just by touring the area, lessons for the instruments used by teachers when teaching in the classroom and in contact with the school atmosphere of a past era, starting in the 19th century and early in the 20th century. The building was conferred by the Municipality of Komotini and the museum was built in 1882 by benefactor Chatzikonstanti Zoidi and his wife. It is located in the yard of the Church of Agios Georgios of Komotini. It was previously used as a kindergarten, it hosted the 5th Primary School of Komotini for many years due to the housing needs, later; the 5th Kindergarten of Komotini until November 6, 1995, and today it continues its service to the local society as a museum.
