The Industrial Gas Museum was inaugurated in 2013 at Technopolis to showcase an important part of the city’s modern history: the old gas plant that provided energy and lighting to the capital for approximately 120 years. The gas production line and the museum route are enriched with new technologies, interactive applications, and 3D projections, alongside historical documentation, design reconstructions of mechanical equipment, and rich audiovisual material.
This rare industrial monument by European standards, and the only one that preserves its entire mechanical equipment in situ, has been transformed into an integral, living part of the city. It has opened its doors to the public with events and activities for all, including temporary exhibitions, theatrical performances, educational programs, sleepovers, late-night happenings, and interactive guided tours, among others.
Since its opening, the Industrial Gas Museum, with a strong focus on creative learning for all ages, has organized a wide variety of original educational programs, workshops, and guided tours throughout the year for children, teenagers, adults, families, and school groups.
In 2023, the museum celebrated its 10-year anniversary by launching a series of special events and initiatives to refresh its permanent exhibition.
