Energetikos ir technikos muziejus — Attraction in Vilnius

I was in this museum 9 years ago and I was disappointed to find that 95% of exhibits were the same. I understand that it's not even possible to change the main exhibit - the old electrical plant, but for example the part for the kids remained almost the same, with addition of a new exhibit on material recycling and a slide.. the rest was worn out, 4 exhibits (out of maybe 11) were not functioning at all.. really disappointing especially having a six year old with me..

For me this all museum felt like they just put some stuff there, because they had it in the basement or found in a flea market. Different subjects (photography, printing, laser equipment, PC history etc.) were presented superficially, putting couple of arbitrary objects and hardly even scratching the surface on the complex, interesting subject.

Is it enough to present the technical side or even the subject of photography by putting 5-6 cameras? (4 of which were made in the last 30 years..) the same on the laser equipment - laser source, some lenses and 2-3 photos on the subject - that's it.

They have some very interesting objects which do have a great potential to be a center of an interesting, informative maybe even playful or interactive exhibit. Sadly this potential was...

Very disappointing. Although there are some interesting historical features from the Soviet period (the museum is housed in an old power station), the explanations and information are poorly presented. There's an effort to make the museum interactive and there are lots of small demonstrations and interactive exhibits. Unfortunately, many of these were broken or so poorly designed that it's hard to understand what their purpose is. It's ironic to see a museum of technology displaying bad quality technology. For example, although it's called a museum of electricity, I didn't see a demonstration of a simple electric circuit. Worst of all was the design in the newly opened 'Hall of Transformations': everything is in semi-darkness, the scientific explanations were very superficial, and there seemed to be little connection between the exhibits. I found it sad to see a real missed opportunity for learning and engagement with science in this museum. That said, it's possible to have a fun time here and children will likely find things to play with, but be prepared to bring your own explanations to make sense of...

This is a very interesting and unique museum that both adults and children can learn from. At the beginning, I went to see the “electric concert” which was booked for 1pm, I came around two minutes before 1 only to find out that it started a while ago. This is not really fair as I was not late, and they started earlier than it was said and paid for. The lady was nice enough to demonstrate the show all over again for us as it was an error on their part. As for the museum itself, it took about two hours and a bit to get through all five floors. You must work your way down from the top. At the very top you get a view of the whole city on the rooftop, there’s a lot of interactive games that I found the most entertaining, as you get to have fun and learn about energy at the same time! All of the activities are very creative and nothing like I’ve seen before. There’s a lot of information on every floor and I think it is unlikely that anyone reads all of the facts about energy as it can get quite tiring. It is a good way to learn and pass time. I recommend it to people from the...
