Open-Air Water Power Museum, Industrial heritage museum in Dimitsana, Greece.
The Open-Air Water Power Museum displays water-powered mechanisms and traditional installations across a 1000-square-meter area near mountain streams.
During the Greek Revolution of 1821, the region supplied essential gunpowder materials through its water-powered mills for the independence movement.
The museum preserves local industrial heritage through restored workshops, including a flour mill, tannery, and gunpowder production facilities from past centuries.
Visitors can observe operational water-powered machinery and traditional production methods through guided tours available from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily.
The museum maintains the last remaining water-powered gunpowder production technology that disappeared from Europe in the 18th century.
