 The Industrial Museum of Ermoupolis, Syros Cyclades: Next to the elegant Neoclassical buildings of Ermoupolis, the capital of Syros, and close to the dockyard, there is an extented old industrial zone. These factories were famous and productive till a few decades ago, but today they remain closed. In three of these factories (a paint factory, a buckshot factory and a tannery), the municipality of Syros established in 2000 an interesting Industrial Museum.
This museum depicts the industrial and economical development of the island from the 18th till the middle 20th century. There is a large collection with photos, maps and architectural designs that show how so many Neoclassical buildings were constructed in Ermoupolis. Visitors can also see pictures of local painters depicting the island in the 19th century, products of women association from the early 20th century and a digital representation of public and industrial buildings. |
