The temporary exhibition aimed to present
the largest greek petroleum company’s,
“Hellenic Petroleum SA”,
55 years old history and activities
in a engaging, easy to understand way.
The idea behind the design of the exhibition
was to create a large oil tank, in the depths of which
visitors could learn all about refining,
a typical day at work in the Refineries,
the company’s structure through time and
technologies that became obsolete due to progress etc.
An impressive installation,
made of tubes in colors used in refineries,
led the visitors from the oil tank, on the ground floor,
to the 2nd floor mezzanine, through the main stairways,
where they could also watch a documentary film
and play a puzzle game
under the playful title “Once they were all oil”.
The exhibition was held, for a period of one year’,
at the Hermoupolis Industrial Museum,
in Syros Island
