Museum located in Mulhouse, the European capital of technical, scientific and industrial museums, it takes visitors through the great saga of electricity.  Explore centuries of discoveries, theories and inventions, right up to how electricity is used today in the electrical modern world!

The Electropolis Museum is above all the history of a century-old machine. The history of a metal monster in steel and copper, which provided electricity to a spinning mill in Mulhouse until the mid-20th century. Bearing witness to Mulhouse’s industrial heritage, the Sulzer-BBC machine constructed in 1901 was saved from destruction in the 1980s by a group of enthusiasts who worked to create the Electropolis Museum.
