Milos Mining Museum, Milos

Amazing museum, two floors full of exhibits and a room where a nice documentary is played. The museum helps to understand the mining activities, geology, and the economy of the island, which provides context for visits and exploration of the beaches. Recommended!

Worth the time and €’s. €7 with audio guide, €5 without. Takes about an hour with the guide or self-pace without. Built on 3 levels, it is Handicap accessible with entry ramp and wheelchair lifts on the stairways. The museum presents a good history of all the mining taking place on Milos through the ages.

Nice museum which describes Milos’ mining history. It can get a bit technical towards the end but all in all, it’s worth a visit to get to know a bit more about the island.

A very interesting museum featuring the rich history of the island in mines. Two levels packed with nicely presented exhibits and a museum shop with many choices.

One wouldn't expect there would be such a well-curated museum in a small island such as Milos. But here it is. There are plenty of mineral samples and some that you're allowed to touch. Abundant information is provided as to the history of mining in the island and the geographical distribution of each mineral within the island. There's also a short film screening at the basement. Nice place to go after four consecutive days of outdoor activities.
