The museum is housed in the building of the former canned tomato factory of the Nomikos family.

Tomato paste production began in the 19th century for this family-owned factory, which was the first to produce canned tomato products in the Balkans, using advanced equipment.
The factory became very successful and the tomatoes used in its production were locally harvested, in Pyrgos village, until it had to shut down permanently due to a decline in tomato production in 1981.

The museum and cultural center were established in 2014, contributing to the preservation of the local history and culture.

Entrance tickets cost €10, while children under 12 years old can enter for free. Some visitors may be eligible for a reduced ticket price (€6).
