Draft:Tomato Industrial Museum D. Nomikos
Tomato Industrial Museum D. Nomikos is an industrial museum in Vlychada on the island of Santorini in Greece.
History[edit]
George Nomikos founded a tomato processing plant in Vlychada in 1945, naming it after his father Dimitros Nomikos.[1] In 1956 the site was flooded and subjected to an earthquake.[1] The factory closed in 1981 due to a reduction in tomato processing on the island.[1] In 2014, the site re-opened as an industrial museum, recording the history of specialist tomato processing on the island.[1]
Collection[edit]
The collection includes machinery and tools, as well as archival materials and oral histories, recorded for the museum's opening.[1]
