By rescuing from oblivion rare items of folk art from the entire spectrum of human activities of the recent past (weapons, palaskes, medoularia, charms, watches, etc.), Vasilis Korkolopoulos selflessly seeks the thread that will lead him back to forgotten layers of Greek culture and psyche.

Thus, even the simple flipping through the catalog of his collection is more than a lesson in aesthetics; it familiarizes the reader with the symbolic "vocabulary" that shaped and expressed the imaginary world of the modern Greek.

What gives the collection a distinctive character and broader significance is precisely the creator's concern for our cultural self-awareness, which this publication aspires to highlight.
