Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 113 reviews
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.

I am often amazed at just how good some local museums are in Greece, and this is simply superb. The items on display are stunning, I particularly enjoyed the neolithic section, which is of immense importance, and this museum has a vast collection. All the rest of the museum is excellent too ! The displays are imaginative, and very well laid out. The staff are informative and helpful. This region has a great wealth of ancient history, brilliantly captured here. The dominant language of the information given is in Greek, obviously, but much of it is also in English too. I'd like to see more in English, as some items had no translations. I would also suggest some more interesting sales items in the small shop, as it is dominated by books in Greek, which sadly, I can't read. Overall, I much congratulate the museum staff on a great job.
