Syros Museums - Located near the dockyard in Ermoupolis, the capital of Syros, lies the industrial zone -- once one of Greece's most important. Despite being closed for several decades, three of these factories (a paint factory, a buckshot factory, and a tannery) have been transformed into an intriguing Industrial Museum in Syros, Greece. Established by the municipality of Syros in 2000, this museum offers insight into the island's economic and industrial development from the 18th to the mid-20th century, with a vast collection of photos, maps, and architectural designs showcasing the flourishing of neoclassical architecture in Syros.
Visitors can also marvel at the island's 19th-century painters' depictions, products of women's associations from the early 20th century, and a digital representation of public and industrial buildings. The museum boasts an impressive collection of almost 20 well-preserved machinery pieces that were used until some decades ago, accompanied by hand tools, first materials, and products from the time of industrial development in Syros. These exhibits are exclusive to Syros and make for a unique viewing experience. The museum also hosts a variety of interesting exhibitions.
