When the Athens gasworks closed its doors in 1984, the Greek Ministry of Culture quickly recognized the site’s historical importance and made preservation a priority. In 2013, the Industrial Gas Museum opened to the public, offering an immersive and interactive journey through the workings of this historic plant. The museum allows visitors to explore the machinery, production methods and operations that once powered the city of Athens. With the help of captivating photographs and audiovisual displays, the visitors of the museum can vividly imagine what the gasworks might have looked like in its prime, as it fueled the growth and industrialization of the city.
