The Industrial Museum of Hermoupolis boasts a collection of over 300 exhibits of old machinery and tools. For Greece, that is a unique collection comprising equipment from various trades such as tanning, machining, textiles, book printing, shipbuilding, loukoumi-making, food packaging equipment, and much more, with all exhibits coming from Hermoupolis’ own factories.

Gathering and curating the collection of historic tools began as early as 1985, while the collection’s systematic restoration and conservation project began in 1998 and is carried out exclusively in Hermoupolis.
