ILLUSTRATION EXHIBITION AND PAINTING WORKSHOPS WITH SVETLIN VASSILEV
16 February 2010-21 March 2010
ILLUSTRATION EXHIBITION AND PAINTING WORKSHOPS
WITH SVETLIN VASSILEV
ILLUSTRATION EXHIBITION
The Herakleidon Museum and Papadopoulos Publications presented from February 16th until March 21st 2010 in the Museum’s Educational Room the exhibition “PETER PAN” by the painter and illustrator of children’s books Svetlin Vassilev.
All children grow up. They learn early that they will grow and usually they are in a hurry to do so. All children except for one… And it’s natural that this child has become famous. Everyone knows Peter Pan. His story has traveled all over the world. However, how many people really know it?
Svetlin Vassilev returned to the Herakleidon Museum in order to revive the adventures of the eternal child, in an exhibition organized by Papadopoulos Publications on the occasion of the publication of the book “Peter Pan”. The book has been adapted by Maria Angelidou.
