The MW Museum of Electricity takes you on a journey through the history of electricity production in Andorra and is divided into three areas: The first room is currently home to an exhibit on the construction of roads in Andorra, the second room explains about energy, what a current is and how we produce electricity at a hydroelectric plant, as well as the evolution of the electrification of the country in the 20th century, and the last room contains fun and educational experiments aimed at understanding electrical phenomena. Here you can see two generators from the hydroelectric plant that were installed in 1934.
