The former royal estate at Tatoi is set to welcome a new museum showcasing its rich agricultural heritage and a collection of historic royal automobiles.

Housed in the estate's New Voustasio building, the museum will offer visitors a unique glimpse into the estate's past.

The project, funded by Greece’s

Recovery and Resilience Fund, is part of a broader initiative to revitalize the Tatoi estate.

The New Voustasio, originally built in 1950 to support the estate's agricultural operations, will be transformed into a dual-themed museum, expected to be completed by 2025.

Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni emphasized the historical significance of the estate's commitment to environmental protection and sustainable practices.

Ms. Mendoni highlighted the reigns of King George I and King Paul, during which the estate's agricultural production flourished, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem that benefited both the local community and the environment.

This museum is part of a larger plan by the Ministry of Culture to convert several historic buildings on the estate into museums.

Artifacts unearthed on the grounds will be prominently displayed, offering visitors an interactive experience within the restored landscape. The museum will also house a collection of royal cars, classified as national heritage.

Upon completion, the museum will provide a unique blend of educational and recreational activities, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the history and natural beauty of Tatoi, while also exploring Greece's royal past.
