News and Announcements

We are really happy to be able to celebrate today the International Museum Day 2021 at the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest, together with the public, after a few days of its reopening.

This year’s theme “The Future of Museums: Recover and Reimagine” reminds us that the time is now for museums to rethink their relationship with the communities they serve, to experiment with new and hybrid models of cultural fruition and to strongly reaffirm the essential value of museums for the construction of a just and sustainable future.

With great success took place the birdwatching excursions of the Kalloni Environmental Information Center at the Kalloni Salt Pans, on Sunday, May 16, 2021. The first event of KPEN after the lifting of the restrictions, attracted the public’s attention and the interest of participation was high.

The participants had the unique opportunity to observe the spring passage of the birds that is at its peak these days. Around 50 different species of birds were spotted!

The Natural History Museum of Lesvos Petrified Forest and the ΚΠΕΝ Καλλονής - Kalloni Environmental Information Center invite you again to bird watching excursions at the Kalloni Salt Pans.

On Friday 14 May, the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest reopens to the public and is ready to welcome you with new findings that are exhibited at the museum for the first time, after the completion of the re-exhibition works of the permanent exhibition hall, dedicated to the Petrified Forest of Lesvos.
