This unusual museum is a shrine to old-school technology.

When was it built

Early 1900s in the Art Deco style. It’s located off the beaten track in the residential suburb of Moschato.

What's the story

“The museum that clicks with you” is its slogan. If you’re below the age of 15, it probably will.

Why it's important

Technology has come so far, so quickly, that it already needs a museum.

Must-see

Generation Z kids will love the 1981 Osborne I laptop. Or the hard drive that’s the size of a fridge. If you're visiting solo, ask for a free audio tour (provided in Greek, English and French.)

Fun fact

There’s a room with an old TV and joystick, where you can try your hand at old school video games.
