Director & Co-Founder | Natural History Museum of Meteora & Mushroom Museum

Greece

Nikos Pallas is the Museum Director and a co-founder of the Natural History Museum of Meteora & Mushroom Museum in Kalabaka. 

A nature enthusiast and collector, he helped bring the museum from concept to reality when it opened in 2014, shaping it into a destination that blends natural history with a specialized focus on Greek fungi. 

Under Nikos’s leadership, the museum has expanded its visitor experiences beyond exhibitions to include truffle-hunting activities, tastings, workshops and festivals—positioning the museum as a driver of local “mycotourism” (mushroom- and truffle-based tourism).
