Housed in a former EDF power plant, the Electropolis Museum is a fascinating journey through the history of electricity, from its early discoveries to modern applications. The museum features a vast collection of antique electrical appliances, generators, and communication devices, all displayed in an engaging, interactive manner. Visitors can operate a dynamo, create sparks with a Tesla coil, and explore the evolution of lighting from gas lamps to LEDs. The centerpiece is a massive 19th-century steam engine that once powered Mulhouse's factories. The museum's hands-on approach makes it ideal for families and curious minds, blending science with history in a way that's both educational and entertaining.
