The idea for the organization of an Exhibition having as subject the Ancient Greek Technology was proposed jointly by two cooperating institutions: The Association for the Study of the Ancient Greek Technology and the Technology Museum of Thessaloniki. | |
 The Ancient Greek Technology exhibition at the Technology Museum of Thessaloniki |

The Ancient Greek Technology exhibition is an effort to record, study and present the huge treasure of technical knowledge, which has been accumulated through centuries of continuous prosperity and development, in ancient Greece.
It concerns knowledge, which totally changed man’s life in all fields: from food production and consumption, clothing and conditions of living, to science and culture. Sometimes, it concerns knowledge which is now remembered by very few people as originating from that historic period (such as the automata, the steam-generator, etc.). This Technology, so decisive for the ensuing progress of the world, is presented within the Ancient Greek Technology Exhibition. It is an interesting attempt, since Technology is part of the foundations of all aspects of civilization. Art, techniques, legends, political theories, fundamental philosophical queries and countless other aspects of the human spirit. 3D Animations of exhibits The Technology Museum of Thessaloniki has created a series of 3D animations presenting the operation of ancient greek technological mechanisms.
