Very good dispalys, interseting to see how Syros was in the older times and how it has develloped until now. One of the most interseting items the first greek electric car.

Ermoupolis splendour is unique and fascinating, especially if you compare it to the "capitals" of the other cycladic islands. The town hall square is one of the largest in Greece, this little island of 22,000 very cultivated inhabitants has its own theatre, and the streets in the town centre are paved in marble (what? yes marble, like the floors in high standing houses) and the cars drive on them!If you visit this museum (opposite the hospital near the shipyard), you will get a glimpse of how the entrepreneurial 19th century ancestors of the island took the train of the industrial revolution, opened textile, glass and metalworks factories and invested the money they made in the lovely architecture of the city. The curator will tell you how the islands expertise later became naval engineering, to the point that these intrepid Syros engineering students would work repairing Japanese boats, hence the plexiglass boat model labelled in japanese. Another unexpected object is the electric car from the 70's made for London commuters.I believe all of the museum items are labeled in both Greek and English, but unfortunately the general explanatory posters of each room are only in Greek. In spite of this, the museum is well worth the visit, especially if you have the opportunity to speak to the curator who is a knowledgeable and passionate communicator and speaks perfect English.

Its nice to see some French influence on the Cyclades.....Ermoupolis has more sophisticated architecture then the rest of the island group. There is only one way in Syros.....Up. They have no need of pedestrian precinct since the quickest way of getting about is via stairways from the harbour right up to the gods. We arrived from the Bosporus,and were taken by the most obvious legacy of the fine French-inspired Neoclassical,Lower Town. The main square,where doves skid across the shiny marble flagstones as they come to land and in the evening,we witnessed the fine Voltas,the Greek version of the Spanish passeo,even compared it to over-enthusiastically, to St.Mark's square in Venice,while the architect of La Scala designed for the town a scaled- down version of his triumph in Milan. But longer history is found in the villages occupying the twin peaks of the Upper-Town,Ano Syros,which retains the fabric of a medieval Cycladic village..... ahhhh, yes the museum. it has an informative capacity,conveying the essence of commercial cycles that have kept this part of the island alive and kicking. Its what my femme calls "boys -interest". be that as it may, we liked the hulking machinery and illuminating artefacts.

In an old industry, nicely renovated, you can learn the financial and cultural history of Syros, depicted through some very interesting artefacts. Especially interesting for all type of engineers.

I read about this museum on trip advisor and on Internet sites and as it was only five minutes walk from where we were staying, we gave it a go. We read that it was free on Wednesdays, but that is no longer the case, we paid two euros each. Check the opening times as they change for winter. The museum is not well signposted, but it is basically on the opposite side of the road to the hospital. We firstly walked around the back, where there are several interesting old pieces of factory equipment and an ancient rusty wheel from a British paddle steamer.Inside the museum the curator was very friendly and helpful. We were left alone to walk around but invited to ask him questions if needed. The museum was divided into several sections such as boat building, textile industry, town planning, old fashioned shop, and a lovely gallery of local paintings. All the exhibits had signs in English as well as Greek.

I liked everything except the road signs, which is something all over Greece. Siros is a very civilized island, people are friendly and polite, restaurants offer a variety of dishes, beaches are clean with crystal clear water, prices are very good.

Our guidebook told us the opening times for this excellent museum - unfortunately it was out of date as were the opening times advertised on the door. When we eventually got in it was very interesting and housed in a delightful old building.
