Museum of Tile-Brick Factory
About the company:
The Tile Brick Factory Museum is one of the few surviving examples of the Greek industrial complex. In 2004, the museum was attached to the network of thematic museums of Technology of the Cultural Foundation. The purpose of this museum is to try to highlight the history of the city. The brick factory was founded in 1926 and its total area is 22.000 square meters. It was used to produce a wide range of bricks and shingles. The factory closed in 1978.
In 2004, the Cultural Foundation decided to create samples of brickwork in the main buildings of the plant. Two years later crushers, compressors, cutters, silos, trolleys and stoves were restored. Now visitors to the museum have the opportunity to get acquainted with the profession of brickworker and tileworker, and they can also learn as much as possible about the process of making bricks.
