Stein Mansion (Greek: Μέγαρο Στάιν) is the name of a historic building in Eleftherias Square, Thessaloniki, Greece. Built in 1906, it was the only building of the square not destroyed by the Great Fire of Thessaloniki in 1917. It was designed by architect Eli Ernst Levi for the Austrian clothing retail brand "Stein’s Oriental Stores Ltd", which had also department stores in Egypt. Later it housed the Hellenic Post Offices, while after WWII it suffered architectural interventions which damaged its initial design.

Cinema Museum of Thessaloniki
Cinema Museum of Thessaloniki

The Cinema Museum of Thessaloniki is a museum in Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Greece. It was founded in 1995 following a decision by the Organization for Thessaloniki, Cultural Capital of Europe 1997. Today it is part of the Thessaloniki Film Festival with its own management committee. It is housed in Warehouse 1, a listed building on quay 1 in the harbour, at the end of the old sea front near Aristotelous Square. The museum's mission is to gather, preserve and display as museum exhibits items from the life of the cinema in Greece. Setting up the museum became feasible following the purchase of the cinematography collection of the Thessaloniki cinematographer Nikos Bililis. Exhibits include machinery, i.e. cine-cameras and projectors, old pieces of cinema equipment and attachments, cinema-film developing tanks, lenses, sub-titling machines etc., celluloid material (films, news reels etc.), photographs from almost two thousand films, gigantic, hand-produced cinema posters, the musical background to all cinema films circulated prior to 1995 on LPs and CDs, and a cinema archive. In the cinema archive visitors and researchers alike can find information about the cinema in Greece from 1985 and on. This includes information about film festivals, public showings of films in Greek cinemas, and biographical data on directors and actors etc. Similar work covering the period from 1926 to 1985 is now approaching completion. The museum provides organized tours and shows excerpts of films in a room specially designed for this purpose.
