Greek History Museum Paul Vrellis - Wax Museum in Ioannina

Greek History Museum Paul Vrellis - Wax Museum in Ioannina

Approximately 14 km from Ioannina, in Bizani, lies the Greek History Museum Paul Vrellis, also known as Wax museum.

The building that houses the Greek History Museum Paul Vrellis was founded in 1983 and was completed in 1994. Its design, as the entire museum's too, was made by a single man, Paul Vrellis. He envisioned a museum that would depict life-size historical events from different regions of Greece, and made it his life purpose to create it. The result is far more impressive than he imagined.

In Greek History Museum Paul Vrellis visitors can admire 36 compositions inspired by significant events of Greek history. All compositions include well-made, life-sized wax figures of finest detail.

Observing them carefully, you will feel you are at the time of the depicted events; an invisible witness to everything. Some of the exhibits-performances that stand out are The Secret School, the oath of Filiki Eteria (Society of Friends ) and the headquarters of 8th Division in a cave during the Second World War. Yet, each representation has its own unique beauty.

In the area of ​​museum you can also visit the workshop of Paul Vrellis, where the artist was inspired and created his works.

The museum's founder passed away in 2010, but what he left behind is a significant creation that you absolutely have to see.
