National Historical Museum
a view in History

The National Historical Museum Shop, open since the 1990s, is located in the Old Parliament Building at Kolokotronis Square. All the objects in the Shop are either copies of original relics of the museum or inspired by them, as its main purpose is to acquaint the public with modern Greek history and folklore.

The National Historical Museum presents the commemorative medal, made for the bicentenary of the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence (1821), in the framework of the anniversary program “Revolution ΄21 Reframed”.

The medal, an object of remembrance of the anniversary and the significance of 1821, is an original creation, made by Elena Votsi, an internationally renowned designer from Hydra, who designed it exclusively for the Museum, on a non-profit basis. The casting and striking of the collectible, commemorative medal was made with the support of Piraeus Bank.
