All exhibits come from the workshops and factories
which were working in Hermoupolis especially in the 19th and 20th
century. Unique collections of old machinery and tools can be found in this
museum. The exhibitions include over 300 rare items which show the industrial
past of Hermoupolis.
The
collections came from various fields of industry such as tanning, machine-making,
ship-building, printing, weaving, food packaging, sweet-delight production etc.
There are also important maps and pictures dating back to the end of 17th
century until the 20th century, original architectural designs
related to the creation of neoclassical Hermoupolis, photos of the shipyard or
the harbour as it was in the past as well as images of ships and paintings by
local painters of the 19th century.
