Reception Area

Media & Education Area
The lecture hall (capacity about 40 people) is equipped with up-to-date technical equipment for putting across information to the visitor.
Exhibition Area
Holding a key role in the museological approach of the museum is the display of real objects and of artistic compositions associated with the event. By their appropriate and properly treated subject-matter these reveal the scale and symbolic value of the sacrifice made by the Viannos people: they express the importance and historical significance of the event.
Apropos emblematic expression and artistic composition there should be stressed:
The act of the execution at Meliana
The exhibition of personal documents and relics of the victims
The interplay in our memories of the historic event at that spot with the timeless nature of such deeds
The tragic situation of the women and children of Viannos after the Holocaust

You can take a different (quite interesting, with breathtaking views) way down, heading towards Embaros (ask the old man who is often at the little church in the plateau for directions).
