Collections of the Electric Railways Museum

Collections of the Electric Railways Museum

Having been given in a listed form, most of the now over 6,000 exhibits are labeled in Greek, but there are 2 very useful brochures in English which help to aid visitors from abroad.

One gives a summary of the Museum of the Athens-Piraeus Electric Railways itself, and the other explains in detail the exhibits by documenting each one. It is said that this is apparently the best laid-out, displayed, and explained museums in Athens.
