The news of Alkibiades Skoulas' paintings and sculptures has spread around the world.
His artistic work expresses a clear and native spirit - no message, no risen finger - he just painted his life, captured Cretan History, created documents of his time - carved in wood and chiseled in stone. |
|||
|
The humble museum was built by Alkibiades Skoulas before his life ended and more or less constructed around the artistic objects. It has an intimate, informal atmosphere, offering the visitor a very personal appreciation for the exhibits.
You can allmost hear Alkibiades tell his story - in a language that everyone understands. |
 |
|||
 |
In a glass cupboard at the entrance you can see the tools with which the work of art was created. In the beginning Alkibiades Skoulas took the same colours that he used to paint his house. Later on he brought the right painting colours into action.
Take a look at the simple instruments that he used for to work with stone and wood - things available in a Cretan mountain village house. |

|
After his father deceased Georgios Skoulas took care of the museum.
He is a shepherd with the artistic gifts of his father.
After explaining the history of the museum he expresses his thanks to the guests by singing old folk songs and playing his lyra. An unforgettable gesture of Cretan Hospitality. You can distinctly feel the vivid history of the place and understand the deeper sense of the Greek word |
 |
|||
| The entrance to the museum is free of charge, but Georgios appreciates small donations for to maintain his private museum. | ||||
