Historical museum / memory

The Georgios Grivas Digenis Museum and burial place

We include the museum as a starting point for discussing the leadership of EOKA and the way an image of a historical leader is created after events.

Twentieth century

The display is best understood together with other museums and sources rather than as the only account of the period.

We suggest that older children compare the language of the memorial museum with a neutral chronology: which words and images construct a hero?

At the museum we focus on specific reference points: the vessel Agios Georgios, the landing map, dates connected with Grivas and the language used by the exhibition.
