Electropolis Museum
The Electropolis Museum is first and foremost the story of a century-old machine. The story of a monster of cast iron, steel and copper which supplied electricity to a Mulhouse filtering plant until the middle of the 20th century. A true witness to the industrial heritage of Mulhouse, the Sulzer-BBC machine built in 1901 was saved from destruction in the 1980s by a group of enthusiasts who joined forces to create the Electropolis Museum. The adventure of electricity - Experience the extraordinary human, technical and industrial adventure of electricity in a trendy museum accessible to all.

En famille
FreeChildren can discover the museum in a playful way, thanks to a game booklet about electric light available at the entrance. The Olympic flame is on its way to Paris and crosses paths with the electric light bulb. Together they'll explore the museum to find out how we got from the flame to the light bulb. Each room of the museum contains a riddle that visitors (accompanied by their parents) will have to solve. Each level has different riddles, making it an ideal outing for all the family. Although these booklets are self-guided, the presence and involvement of accompanying parents is essential. Two booklets will be available for visitors, one for 47 year-olds and the other for 8-12 year-olds.
