A large mural of the legendary bouzouki player and songwriter Vassilis Tsitsanis has been unveiled in the museum dedicated to his memory in Trikala, the city of his birth.
It took artists Michalis Koufogiannis and Giorgos Kourmetzas several months to complete 18 square metre mosaic that was opened to the public for the first time on 24 December.

The Tsitsanis Museum opened in March 2017 and is part of a building complex that includes the city’s old prison next to the Litheos River and a few metres for the Koursoum Mosque.
Tsitsanis’ work reflected the struggles and sorrows of post-war Greeks. His music has been a part of Greek life for more than 50 years and he was a leading light in rembetiko music.
