Nikos Kazantzakis lived in a time when means of communication were limited. He traveled and lived in many places in Greece and abroad, keeping in touch with his family, friends, and collaborators by sending letters and postcards. Through the Letter Archive preserved at the Museum—where Kazantzakis himself appears both as sender and recipient—children discover the different forms of epistolary writing, the structure and distinct parts of a letter and a postcard. By engaging their imagination, they are invited to develop their own writing skills by sending a personal postcard to the great author.
