Read this extract from an article about the Kazantzakis museum. In small
groups, discuss what you could look for in this museum if you played Treasure
Hunt.
2
Prepare a short Treasure Hunt Task Sheet for the rest of the class. You can ask
for information or ask students to find something if they visit the museum.
e.g.
  • Find one of the writer's photographs with someone else. Who is he with and where?
  • Find two of his personal belongings a visitor can find in the museum.
The Kazantzakis Museum is in Varvaroi, a place about 20 kilometres to the
south of Herakleion. In the museum, there are some of the Cretan writer's
personal things, documents, letters, the first Greek editions of his books,
translations in 49 languages, photographs, theatrical works and costumes.
There is also a collection of press reviews which refer to Kazantzakis and have
appeared in Greek and foreign newspapers. Visitors can enjoy learning details
about the famous writer's life and career during an audiovisual presentation
in five languages: Greek, French, English, German and Dutch.
