Information About Messinia Museums
On the ground floor you can see exhibits connected to the rural life, the farming industry and weaving art, pottery and a complete picture of the pre-industrial way of life in Messinia. On the next floor the exhibit starts with pieces regarding presswork and book-binding and there is a replica of an old traditional coffee shop along with material regarding the 1821 Revolution.
This museum has a rich collection of maps, photographs, models and replicas to help the visitors get a better understanding of the various aspects of the culture and how they evolved in the region.
This exhibition includes the railway station and the surrounding area, the 2-storey building of the stationmaster, 4 boarding platforms with the ticket box and the benches. There is also a water tower with a stone base, 3 water hydrants for locomotives and a metal bridge. Quite a few of the transportation material and trains are also exhibited.
