The house consists of a front porch, a living room with a characteristic arched roof support, two bedrooms, as well as a smaller back yard along with a pigeon house. Various notable furniture from different eras and styles come together to reconstruct what life would look like in the 19th century. The handmade embroidery and a series of French engravings decorating the rooms along with crockery of the time assist in creating this unique atmosphere. \u2028Additionally, this museum houses two copies of traditional Mykonian dress, inspired by lithographs of 17th and 18th century travellers, who happened to preserve these in colour in their memoires. These have been leased to the museum by the Folkloric-Cultural Women\u2019s Association of Mykonos, and one of the dresses has been commissioned from the renowned scenographer and costume designer Yiannis Metzikof. Lena\u2019s house also has on display a \u201cdoulamas\u201d dress from Sifnos, as well as a rendition of the dress of local war heroine Manto Mavrogenous, based on a coloured lithograph by A. Friedel, the creation of which was sponsored his eminence metropolitan of Syros and Mykonos, mr. Dorotheos II.
