WAX MUSEUM OF GREEK HISTORY PAUL VRELLIS

The Wax Museum of Paul Vrellis is located in Ioannina, namely 14 km. south of the city of Ioannina in the village Bizani and on the 12th km. of the National Road Ioannina - Athens. The museum, which is also known as Greek History Museum, worked with Paul's Vrellis initiative, who all alone spent 13 years until the museum finally opened its doors in 1995 and made this kind of famous museum in Greece. The love of Paul Vrellis for the heroes before the revolution, the revolution’s heroes and the subsequent heroes led him to create the museum like a tribute to them. It is a project of 150 waxworks and 36 historical issues, all taken from the most important moments of Greek history. The long-term project based on the study of many historical and folklore books and a lot of information that Paul Vrellis garnered through his travels. The aim of the author was to represent the heroes into the spaces in which they acted to experience the viewer through these representations the events that have passed.

Entering the museum will follow a circular path and you will be guided in the mountains, old houses, caves, churches and paths where you will see the wax statues of heroes of  the Greek history, which are represented in natural size. 24 centuries of Greek history are covered through this circular tour starting in 500 BC. The three themes are: a) the unity of Pro revolution b) the unity of the Revolution of 1821, and c) the section of the Second World War. At the end of the tour there is the workshop of Paul Vrellis itself. The truth is that guests are left speechless in front of these models that will remind you the most important forms of Hellenism and its historical struggles. Dummies are so vivid that many doubt whether it really is wax. The result of the work of Paul Vrellis leaves us speechless.

The booking office of the Museum Wax Paul Vrellis opens daily from 10:00 until 16:00. For more information please contact by phone or fax to number 26510 92128 or by email at pvrellis@vrellis.gr. You can also visit the web page of the Museum www.vrellis.gr .
