Electricity Museum

About

The Electricity Museum is a science and industrial heritage museum in Lisbon, Portugal. The Electricity Museum unfolds along the perimeter of the old thermoelectric plant – the Tejo Power Station, which illuminated the city of Lisbon for more than four decades. It opened as a museum in 1990. Ten years later, the Electricity Museum's buildings and equipment underwent a period of rehabilitation, to reopen in 2006 fully renovated and with a new discourse and museum proposals. The Tejo Power Station is a part of the heritage and structure of the EDP Foundation. In 2015 EDP announced that from 2016 the museum will form part of Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology.
