The National Gallery invites children and parents to an original encounter with history through the programme "The Revolution of Colours." The heroes and heroines of 1821 "come to life" on paper through the eyes of children, transforming collective memory into a creative experience.

Taking the iconic works of the museum’s historical collection as a starting point and inspired by the beloved children’s book The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers young visitors discover a primal connection with colours and textures. Students will reconstruct the image of the Revolution’s fighters, creating their own colourful mosaic from scratch that bridges a storied past with the Greece of today.

This activity is only available in Greek.
