Water Supply Museum, Technical museum in Sfageion district, Thessaloniki, Greece

The Water Supply Museum occupies the Old Pump House building, featuring two exhibition halls displaying motor machinery, electricity generators, and large pumping units.

Belgian financiers constructed the pump station between 1890 and 1892 as part of Thessaloniki's modernization project, which included railways and gasworks development.

The museum educates visitors about water conservation through exhibits of historical pumping equipment, measuring instruments, and network maintenance tools.

Located at the western entry of Thessaloniki, the museum operates on weekdays from 10:00 to 14:00 and receives 7000 school children annually.

One diesel engine in the second hall has an exposed side panel allowing visitors to examine its internal mechanical components.
