Group Photography Exhibition "Images of disappearing Crafts & Occupations " consisting of 100 photos is open to the public in the Museum’s Hall “O. Elytis”. Photographic material derived from the archives of the newspaper "Haniotika Nea", of the photographers Fanis Manousakis, John Papadakis, Stavros Psyllakis and the Cultural Society of Crete, together with photos by 52 photographers from all parts of Greece, present vividly the crafts and occupations of the past. The exhibition has been hosted last year in Chania by the Cultural Society of Crete and aroused great interest from the locals and tourists.
