The longstanding relationship of man with the sea and fishing unfolds in the very interesting exhibition of this museum: ancient anchors, hooves, nets, balots, representations of fishing techniques, pedestrians and much more. In the museum you can find old and modern fishing techniques, fishing gear, navigation tools, miniatures of fishing vessels and the great magic of the underwater world which is displayed in a specially designed room with the help of audiovisual media. A special exhibit of the museum is the bougiantes, a traditional fishing craft that was used at the Marmara Sea and in our country became known when the refugees settled here. Moreover, many fishing items are exhibited brought by the refugees from their fatherland.
However, the tour of the exhibition does not end here: the visitor’s fishing route continues through the magical world of the seabed and its acquaintance with submarine states and marine organisms. Photographic material, movies, animations, marine organisms and the imposing presence of a pastor’s outfit depict the wealth of the sea. You can also see the excellent shellfish collection of the Moudania Navy Club. Outside of the exhibition area there is training and multipurpose room, as well as a library – reading room.
