The collection of the works of the great Greek painter Yiannis Tsarouhis is housed in the home where he lived from 1974 until his death in 1989. Designed by the artist himself, the two-storey house is built in simple lines and it is surrounded by a beautiful garden, housing one of the best organised painter museums in Greece. The pieces of this rich collection are on alternating display chronologically and by subject, allowing visitors to be exposed to the largest possible part of the painter's extensive work. In addition to Tsarouhi's famous works, the collection also includes portrait drafts, sketches of costume and book illustrations, cardboard constructions, models of scenery, masks, small statues and archive material of the ingenious artist.
