The Christos Kapralos museum of Aegina: The Christos Capralos museum in Aegina is located in the northwestern side of the town, on the coastal road straight from the harbour.
Christos Capralos was a Greek sculptor, born in 1909 in Panaitolio, a village near Agrinio. His family was poor and studied art thanks to mentors and financial supporters. He studied (1929-34) painting in the Athens School of Fine Arts and sculpture (1934-40) in the Grande Chaumiere and Colsrossi Academies.
His work was mainly inspired from the everyday life in his village, his friends and relatives, war and peace. He represented Greece at the Venice Biennale in 1962 and participated in the Sao Paolo Biennale in 1975. He died in January 1993, in Athens.
