It is an interesting history of mining on the island since ancient times. It has an interesting video with interviews of miners. It is also informative about the minerals mined there

But the best for me was the film footage of former workers and dwellers of the mines and mining communities being intereviewed as to how their life had been in the days when the mines were fully operational. The Museum should make even more of... More

Mining museum brings to mind a show of rusty old equipment to walk around. Well there are a couple of pieces rusting away at the front of this modern building but this place is a showcase. More a history of the commerce of Milos over the last 100 years. Of course it also goes back over the the millennia to... More

Never been to a mining museum before. Very interesting and you get a lot of background on the island's history. However some of the exhibits particularly on the 1st floor would appeal more to geologists. The videps shown are good.

This is a fine little museum that enhances your understanding of Milos both from the mining aspect and some of the life of the people who live on Milos. Be sure to watch the videos on the lower level.

We visited the Mining Museum not quite knowing what to expect. It turner out to be one of the best decisions we took durning our stay on Milos. After visiting the old Sulphur Mine and the newer opencast mine a visit here puts everything into perspective the collection of minerals and onld mining equipment is extensive. The film of the...
