Very interesting and detailed guide

The Museum is housed in the old Rooftile and Brickworks Factory of Nikolaos and Spyridon Tsalapatas, in Volos (Thessaly). It presents daily life in the factory, as well as all the production stages of different types of bricks and tiles. Its objective is to showcase the historical identity of the town of Volos and to contribute to the preservation and promotion of its industrial heritage. The N. & S. Tsalapatas Rooftile and Brickworks Factory was one of the largest of its kind. Its workshops and industrial facilities have been restored and today constitute a rare surviving example of an industrial complex in Greece.

    Really interesting museum
    This is a brilliant example of how a small museum can be really interesting. The museum is located in a brick and tile factory (more than 100 years-old) and depicts that industrial activity. Everything is excellently recovered and well documented. Testimonies from the previous owners and employees depict with honesty what was like working there. Really worth a visit, also because there are several good restaurants in the area.
