Section of National Costumes
A few words
Interlinking its activities, right from the start, with the establishment of the local costumes collection of the Lykeion ton Ellinidon and with its first public appearances, the Section of National Costumes continues to this day, with the same “respect for tradition”, to work towards the completion of this collection. Αt the same time it is responsible for the supervision of the costumes at the performances and various appearances of the Folk Dance Group of the LtE.
