Anyone interested in interior design will find a close-up look here at artistic designs and handcrafted details.
The Hydropower Museum has a different focus. Visitors can conduct interactive experiments, such as building a model hydroelectric power plant or measuring electrical resistance. Guided tours cover the development of hydropower, from the first dams to modern power plants. This includes the construction and operation of the Sayano-Shushenskaya Hydroelectric Power Station. Trying things out for yourself and learning about the history of a specific power station are presented as two distinct ways to explore the subject. To book excursions, contact the operator and confirm the details with them.
