Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, Technology museum in Katakolo, Greece

The Museum of Ancient Greek Technology displays 300 functional models representing technological developments from 2000 BC through the end of antiquity.

Following 22 years of research, Kostas Kotsanas constructed replicas based on ancient Greek, Latin, and Arabic texts, archaeological findings, and vase paintings.

The museum reveals the technological knowledge of ancient Greeks through exhibits like the Antikythera mechanism, Heron's automated theatre, and Philon's robotic servant.

Located opposite the train station in Katakolo, the museum provides audio-visual materials and interactive experiences in both Greek and English languages.

The collection features 27 ancient Greek timekeeping devices, including the hydraulic clock of Ctesibius, demonstrating early engineering innovations.
