The museum was established in November 2005 in the space of the former Post Office in
Piraeus railway station. The museum was founded by Mr Manolis Fotopoulos, a former employee of the
Athens–Piraeus Electric Railways (ISAP) since 1990. He started gathering items for the museum in 1995 after his retirement, searching in old warehouses and junkyards for interesting items, before the collection was opened to the public in 2005. The museum is currently managed by Pavlos Koulovassilopoulos. ==References==
