Υπέροχη συλλογή,μακάρι να υπήρχαν όλοι συγκεντρωμένοι εκεί (των ιδιωτικών συλλογών) για να μπορούμε να τους θαυμάζουμε και να γινόταν ένα μεγαλύτερο μουσείο για αυτόν τον καταπληκτικό ΕΛΛΗΝΑ ζωγράφο
Well laid out. An insight into this famous Greek artist. A bit out of the way, but well-worth the visit. Primitive art at it's best. A trip through Greek history and folk life.
Visitamos este museu como parte da nossa programação nesta ilha. O museu combina perfeitamente com o artista, umilde mas com grande talento dentro que são as obras expostas no museu e como erá o próprio artista. Um exemplo brilhante da arte grega moderna. A quem interessa arte, não pode deixar de visitar o museu e apreciar as obras que ele abriga. Recomendamos como entendidos no assunto!

What a lovely simple museum dedicated to the works of a very original and quirky painter who finally became well respected after his death but who lived hand to mouth and painted for his supper
folklore suggestivo .opere originali e inaspettate. piccolo spazio per pochi eletti.si respira l 'atmosfera della Grecia di una volta
I was fortunate to view Theofilos' works in this setting many years ago and it was the highlight of an extended stay on the island. Surrounded by a silver olive orchard and the electric pulse of cicadas, this shed-like structure is commensurate with the simple and selfless nature of the prolific itinerant artist. His murals are brilliant in situs--you can almost see the villages arcing their dance among the trunks visible through the windows. I can't wait to revisit this national gem.
This gentleman was a naive painter which later became famous.I understand that naive painting can be a good art form but ,with my apologies , I did not like what I saw . Sorry !
This museum displays many paintings by one of the most popular Greek painters, born in Varia.He lived here with his mother when he wasn't wandering around the country painting naïf, colorful realistic paintings of rural or historical scenes which you can see here - as well as on the walls of some old cafés. There is a lot of info. about his life and the unique way he dressed . It is a moving experience even if the style is not your favorite !After visiting the museum, which is surrounded by old olive trees, drive 5 minutes to the village of Ταξιάρχες to Antonis café and ouzerie for the best meal you will eat on the island .
Wunderschöne naive Bilder in kräftigen Farben und mit viel Aussagekraft. Leider waren viele der über 80 Bilder nicht am Platz! da sie restauriert wurden? Mit dem Taxi erreicht man das Museum von Mitilini aus in wenigen Minuten! Kosten etwa 5,-- €.
