A multimedia museum

The exhibition tells the story of geothermal energy, illustrating exploration and drilling techniques through models. A multimedia museum particularly well-suited to understanding the geothermal phenomenon and its industrial developments.

The tour takes visitors through ten rooms illustrating the origins of geothermal energy, from the establishment of the first chemical factory, through experimentation with energy production – first mechanical, then thermal and electrical – right up to modern power stations.
