A 200 sq. m building was erected to house the Digital Museum, with 2 floors and a spacious lower level. It was designed in the local architectural style, and was modelled and organised according to a specific museological study.
The personality of the painter is brought to life on the ground floor through the story of his life. Various applications show the myriads of distinctions and awards bestowed upon the artist for his works, and for the medals and coins he designed. Family photographs, his professional accomplishments and social circle are illustrated by means of concise, explanatory texts and references to the key moments in his life. In this way, visitors get to know the man behind the artist.
On the same floor, visitors can better acquaint themselves with a subject they are interested in, by navigating through the Georgios Jakobides cd-rom application. This specially-designed application documents the work and life of the painter. It also features captions for almost all the works on display, as well as a fascinating digital timeline enriched with archive material.
