Summer is already in full swing, but free Sundays are still here. We invite everyone to explore the world of technology, try out 3D pen workshops, and experience a wide range of interactive museum exhibits.
On the last Sunday of the month, the Energy and Technology Museum invites you with a free general admission ticket to visit inspiring tours, educational activities, and exhibitions!
The Energy Transformation Hall is an interactive exhibition about the relationship between humans and energy, created to inspire curiosity in science and technology and to present exact sciences in an accessible and engaging way. Each exhibit combines a historical story with an interactive challenge.
Do you know how one person’s ideas changed our world in the field of electricity? This international exhibition invites you to explore Tesla’s revolutionary inventions – from alternating current and the Tesla coil to visions of wireless energy transfer – and to experience how bold thinking and innovation shaped today’s technological world.
The industry exhibition invites visitors to discover the history of Vilnius industry from the city’s founding to the present day. You will get acquainted with technologies developed in Vilnius and products made here that now seem like distant history and sometimes evoke nostalgia. The exhibition shows how industrialization transformed the city of Vilnius and everyday life. In this part of the museum, you can also visit a typical 1970s Lithuanian settler’s apartment – a Khrushchyovka.
Young visitors are invited to explore the interactive Energetics and Technology Museum exhibition “Science and Technology for Children,” located on the two upper floors of the museum. The goal of the exhibition is to present natural sciences in a simple, engaging, and accessible way for everyone. It is especially popular among children, though adults also find it fascinating. In this colorful exhibition, visitors can play while discovering the hyperboloid, Jacob’s ladder, Möbius strip, gravity catapult, Bernoulli ball, and many other exhibits.
It is worth exploring the first Vilnius power plant. Its authentic equipment – steam boilers, turbines, and control panels – is displayed on the first floor of the museum. In the basement, the plant’s equipment is complemented by steam condensers and pipelines. Here you can see working models of the Kruonis Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Plant and the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant. A part of the latter (the reactor) was used during the filming of the HBO series Chernobyl.
Throughout the day, young museum visitors will be invited to develop their creative skills in workshops where they draw selected images using special 3D pens, turning their drawings into unique souvenirs.
This exhibit is designed to simulate free movement in various directions. Similar structures were used in astronaut training as early as the mid-20th century, for example in NASA’s Mercury program.
