The Inventions of Ancient Greece: Origins of Our Modern Technology

This exhibition showcased inventions from ancient Greek history that influenced and laid the foundation for various mediums of work in modern times. From astronomy to programming, from the study of gears to pulley systems, and many other exciting inventions, the exhibit featured technological achievements from pioneers of the past.

Mr. Kostas Kotsanas, the founder of the Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, spent years carefully researching and replicating the sources and materials displayed in detail for viewers to fully appreciate them. One of the displays included an ancient hydraulic alarm clock made out of ceramic. Using theories of pressure to create melodious whistles, it was just one of the many clever inventions on display.
