In the closing years, below their encouragement and suggest, the Municipality of Lavrion acquired two very vital collections, which have come to enrich the contents of the Museum of E.ME.L. Finally, through economic contributions and private purchases of mineralogical collections, citizens and buddies have regularly helped to finish the contents of the museum. At this end, the acquisition and transfer to new premises, which will permit the presentation of the collection of the museum under appropriate museological situations, constitutes a commonplace goal, both for E.ME.L. and the Municipality of Lavrion.
