The Open-air Water Museum (Greek: Υπαίθριο Μουσείο Νερού) is located in the city of Edessa, Central Macedonia, Greece. In the early 20th century there were many water-powered workshops in the city. In 1991 the Municipality of Edessa decided to improve and develop the Mills area, the Kannavourgio and the ‘Estia’ works, by establishing an open air, water-power museum, and creating recreation areas. The Open-Air Water Museum, which opened early in 2000, aims to acquaint visitors with the history of water-power from the workshops of pre-industrial times up to the early 20th century. * * * *

  • Το Υπαίθριο Μουσείο Νερού της Έδεσσας, είναι μια πρότυπη διατηρητέα περιοχή που περιλαμβάνει αναστηλωμένες βιοτεχνίες και βιομηχανίες, ενώ μέσα του ρέει ένα πλήθος τεχνιτών καναλιών σε σύνθεση με πλούσια βλάστηση. Ανεγέρθη το 1993 έπειτα από απόφαση αξιοποίησης της περιοχής των Καταρρακτών προς όφελος του τουρισμού. Από τότε έχουν πραγματοποιηθεί διάφορες και ποικίλες παρεμβάσεις και αλλαγές του σχεδιασμού του Μουσείου. Το Μουσείο αποτελείται από 8 τμήματα χωρισμένα το κάθε ένα που εκπροσωπεί μία διαφορετική δραστηριότητα και λειτουργία. Πρόσφατα μάλιστα παρουσιάστηκαν σχέδια για μια ενιαία ενοποίηση του Μουσείου με την περιοχή της παλιάς πόλης. (el)
