Can't give you a review of the exhibits, as we decides with my spouse to not go inside. The reason for this was the public humiliation we went through from the lady that I troduced herself as the Supervisor, when I wondered "why" I couldn't drive my wife withy car uphill, then drive outside and walk back uphill. My wife is suffering from multiple sclerosis since she was 17 and has issues walking uphill, through pointy fitted stones on the ground for longer that say a couple of meters. Well, she managed to go uphill for approximately 100 meters while falling down twice. Let alone when it's 30+ degrees Celsius in the shade. So, I sat her down under a tree and went back to the reception to ask if I could drive her in my car, then bring the car back out to the parking and walk back in. The answer was that it's not possible and she would check to see if anyone from the Staff could walk down to the reception, get "their" car, drive up, pick her up and drive her uphill to the entrance of the Museum. No car was available and I was given 2 options; walk withy wife uphill, or, take my wife and leave. I decided to walk uphill as we had already paid for the ticket and was halfway there. Then we reached the entrance where I asked to speak with the Supervisor. The Supervisor was abusive, did not respect others and started shouting, she was calling me and my wife liars that supposedly my wife does not suffer from M.S. and because I mentioned that it totally unreasonable that they do not allow in such cases visitors to drive there, them take their car away and walk back in uphill that I was being disrespectful to the work of the Artist who's deceased. I feel really sorry for the Supervisor that was acting in such a terrible manner, calling us names, telling others lies about us, asking their Staff to repeat those lies. I will do everything in my power to let the proper authorities know and help us understand what her as a Supervisor should be. Worst Customer Support Experience ofy life EVER! If you have mobility issues, he careful with this place! The Supervisor went as far as performing an inquisition against my wife, asking her how would she like the exhibition if she can't walk or see properly!!! I thought we're living in 2023, not in 1523! Icing in the cake; I was told, when I asked the Receptionist "why" can't I drive my car uphill to help my wife and the reply was "because the Creator of the exhibition believed that if someone can't walk uphill, he/she won't be able to enjoy the exhibits". She also mentioned that this i formation is available on the WEB Site of the Museum (did not find such a statement anywhere) and in the Booklet of the exhibition that you can buy once you visit the Museum (which was offered to us in good will (?) but after all of what happened, declined to receive as a gift). Feeling sorry and apologizing fory wife being handicapped!!! I wish none will feel like the piece of trash bring thrown around like my wife and I felt today!...

A well built and impressively staged collection of wax models, inspired by the Greek history. The way the exhibits are presented is original and really gets the visitor in the right mood. On the other hand, there were at least two things I considered negative. The first one, is the lack of a guided tour, which is up to a point understandable because of the narrow spaces, the existence of lots of stairs and the details given on tags for each exhibit. As a result, although missing, I would not say that a guided tour is "needed" at least for the majority of visitors. The most important drawback, in my personal opinion, is the prohibition of taking photos in the museum, for no obvious reason. Furthermore, the visitor is not informed for the prohibition in advance (when buying the ticket) but at the museum entrance, after he has already paid for it. The whole prohibition makes the experience less complete and certainly does not help spreading the experience publicly. Having visited many museums globally, this prohibition seems to be a bad "habit" in Greek museums, for no...

Ένα πραγματικό στολίδι για την περιοχή. Ο εξωτερικός χώρος και το κτήριο είναι όμορφα διαμορφωμένα και συντηρημένα. Το εκδοτήριο εισιτηρίων βρίσκεται στη βάση του μικρού λοφου και η κυρία εκεί ήταν πολύ εξυπηρετική και μας ενημέρωσε για τιμές και εκπτώσεις, και μας έδωσε έντυπο υλικό για το μουσείο. Το μουσείο βρίσκεται λίγο πιο πάνω, στα 100-150 μέτρα από το εκδοτήριο. Η πρόσβαση γίνεται και από μονοπάτι και από άσφαλτο αλλά μόνο με τα πόδια. Όχημα δεν επιτρέπεται λόγω κάποιου κινδύνου καθίζησης μας ενημέρωσαν. Ίσως να γίνονται εξαιρέσεις για ειδικες περιπτώσεις αλλά δεν το γνωρίζω οπότε επικοινωνήστε τηλεφωνικά πριν την μετάβαση σας.

Η περιήγηση στο μουσείο γίνεται σε μικρά γκρουπ επισκεπτών, οπότε ίσως χρειαστεί να περιμένετε 5-10 λεπτά. Φτάνοντας στο μουσείο στην είσοδο γίνεται μια ενημέρωση σχετικά με την δημιουργία του χώρου και τον ίδιο τον δημιουργό καθώς και μια αναφορά στο τι θα δείτε. Δεν υπάρχει ξενάγηση, ωστόσο ο ξεναγός συνοδεύει τους επισκέπτες και λύνει απορίες ή επεξηγεί ο,τι χρειάζεται.

Ο εσωτερικός χώρος στο μεγαλύτερο μέρος του είναι αρκετά σκοτεινός και στενός και υπάρχουν σκαλοπάτια αλλά τα σημεία με τα ομοιώματα είναι φωτισμένα και πολύ ευδιάκριτα. Απαγορεύεται η φωτογράφιση με οποιονδήποτε τρόπο. Υπάρχει όλο το υλικό διαθέσιμο διαδικτυακά σε εικόνες υψηλής ευκρίνειας αλλά και εικόνες/καρτ ποστάλ στο μαγαζάκι του μουσείου. Μόνη παρατήρηση που έχω είναι ότι τα ταμπελακια στα εκθέματα κάποιες φορές ήταν μακριά από κάποια φωτεινή πηγή και ήταν δύσκολο να διαβαστούν. Παρατηρήστε τις αλλαγές και στην εσωτερική αρχιτεκτονική του κτηρίου καθώς "κινείστε στο χρόνο" από τα προεπαναστατικα χρόνια ως τη μεταπολεμική ιστορία.

Στο τέλος της διαδρομής εκτίθενται γλυπτά του δημιουργού καθώς και απεικονίσεις ιστορικών γεγονότων σε γκραβούρες. Υπάρχει μαγαζί με αναμνηστικά και χώρος με τραπεζάκια και τουαλέτες. Δεν νομίζω να φτιάχνουν φαγητό ή ροφήματα αλλά υπάρχει αυτόματος πωλητής.

Μια εξαιρετική επίσκεψη, πολύ καλή οργάνωση και τα εκθέματα είναι αριστούργημα. Πολύ καλή εμπειρία και για παιδιά.

Οι ώρες λειτουργίας στη θερινή περίοδο ήταν 10.00-16.00 και οι τιμές των εισιτηρίων 7€ ολόκληρο κ 4€ μειωμένο. Ενημερωθείτε απο την ιστοσελίδα και το τηλέφωνο επικοινωνίας πριν από την επίσκεψη σας για...

This privately run museum was created by a single person, Pavlos Vrellis, who was passionate about Greek History. You will see several exceptionally made wax sculptures, representing several historical figures. The gruesome period before and after the Greek Independence War in 1821 is well represented. While Greek people will be familiar with (most of) these personalities, there is very little background information in English. The tour guides will offer a few details, but it's a good idea to study the museum's comprehensive website before visiting. Tickets cost 6 euros. Photography is explicitly not allowed, due to the grim nature of many of the exhibits.

The personages seems not so "real" and if you are "claustrophobic " its not a good idea to go here you are in the dark and it's cold and some personages move her eyes to look at you ... you don't feel so relax and you can not take photography and if you take the security gonna follow you on your back until the end like you have killed someone or like you have do the one abominable think it's stupid and crazy because in England you have the same thing and better with all the cinema star and you can take photos and touch the personages and it's seems more real it's stupid !
