 Madame Tussauds (by Dennis Chatzinikolaou).

This museum is considered one of the greatest. 

The founder was Marie Tussaud, a French woman who lived during the Napoleonic wars. 
Marie used to scavenge through dead bodies to find the severed heads of executed citizens, from which she would make death masks.
When she travelled to Great Britain she opened a museum in which she showed her exhibits from around France. 
Nowadays, this museum is well-known and many think it is the best.

Pavlos Vrellis wax museum  (by Bill Kallerghis).

   Pavlos Vrellis, a lover of the Greek revolution and the Greek Heroes, created this incredible museum in order to honor all those people, who fought for  freedom. 
However, not only did he create  waxwork for the Greek Revolution, but he also made waxwork representing important parts of the Greek History.
 All in all the museum contains150 waxwork and 37 historical themes about the Greek Revolution.

District

  The museum is located at the township of Mpizani (Iwannina)and it was built on February 1983. 
It covers 2.500 m2 and it is built according to the traditional architecture.

Exhibits

   The waxwork creations are in real shape and are so well-made that give you the impression of real people. Sometimes, visitors think that the waxworks look insistently at them, a sense which proves waxworks’ quality. The whole place is organized in order to suit with the environment of the waxwork. 
In other words, the visitor has the idea of travelling through caves, mountains, churches etc. The whole experience is unbelievable and totally transfers you back to those periods!
