Those who are visiting the city of Lisbon should not miss the Museum of Electricity.
The Museum is housed in the former Central Electricity of Lisbon, CENTRAL TEJO, the building being an architectural landmark of the city and possessing a façade of undeniable beauty.
Pioneering in its time in the field of electricity production, it once again takes on innovative aspects and of great importance as a Museum of Electricity.
Inside the museum you will find as central objects of the permanent exhibition the original energy production equipment of the old facility.
Inaugurated in 2006, the main center of the permanent exhibition is the Central, that is, all the equipment that was part of the installation of the old production unit and which, fortunately, are still today restored and extraordinarily well preserved.
Through the exhibition, it is intended to convey to visitors how was the operation of this former thermoelectric power station in Lisbon, from the identification of its various components to the explanation of its operation.
At the same time you can start exploring and experimenting with interactive and renewable energies as well as having access to temporary art exhibitions.
The purpose of today's post is to make known the beautiful building with its charming facade as well as the main core.
With a spectacular location next to the Tagus River, the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery, the Electricity Museum is considered by many to be "a secret wonder of Lisbon".
Do not forget, when you finish your visit go eat the famous "Pasteis de Belém" which are located very close to the Museum.
This museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 6pm.
Let's start the tour.
I hope you like it!
