Love this museum! It used to be an old power station and they have turn it into an beautiful experiential museum. It's one of a kind, as it uses all the original parts of the power plant. With creative presentation, cut-away sections, and internal views, you really get a good understanding of how a power station works. Everything from burning coals, to the Uber works of the stream turbine, electrical generators and transmission, the water cooling systems, and waste water treatment... etc. You get to see everything in it's original place in a real power plant. It's simply amazing! 👍👏😃⭐

Well maintained power plant. I only give it 2 stars because there is an "modern art" exhibition with loud speakers VERY ANNOYING. Specially the one in the boilers room what shouts constantly LOUISA!! For that things exist the art galleries. There is no point putting that things in a museum like this one

The Tejo Power Station is at a beautiful spot, overlooking the river. I didn't go inside as u just wanted to see the beautiful architecture. I has a great area where u can see then river. I was there in October and it was super windy!

We started from the second floor and it was too boring at the beginning, but then by going forward enjoyed this museum a lot. There are a lot of interactive things which would be interesting for kids and adults. Would recommend it!

For 11 euros you get to visit Tejo Power Station and MAAT Modern Art Museum. The sections in the Tejo Power Station were well explained, beautifully recreated and exhibited. Your engineering side would appreciate this museum. Recommended.

Oh man... Let me tell you... I was actually looking for a completely other museum, but ended up in MAAT museum (a part of that museum is this power station). I did not expect to see the power station and I literally had no knowledge of the processes of generating electricity. Some spaces are amazing and visually breathtaking. Yeah. Inside the museum. But overall... I can't give it more than 4 stars since the price of the ticket was too high for what I got in return. I don't know... I mean... I am comparing it to other museums in Lisbon, so...

Wow, amazing view into the horrible world of coal power plant workers. So glad we have better working conditions and greater automation in remaining coal plants and hopefully soon, we can retire them all worldwide. Very cool to see that from then to now the basics of electrical power generation is the same - steam turbines spinning alternators.

Great museum with a look to the past engineering wonder of electricity generation in Lisbon. Great interactive demos for kids and adults alike. Wonder round and learn about the brilliant feat of science this tejo is. Tickets for the power station get you into maat next door and vice versa, worth a trip to both!

It was great museum experience visiting this former power plant which used to supply electricity to Lisbon and the surrounding areas. Fascinating to imagine the working conditions back in the day.

Great place if you like technology and are interested in how electricity was generated in the early days. Much nicer than the "modern art" museum next door.

Really cool place to see the past, present and a bit of future of power stations. Got some experiments for kids as well. Go for it)

(Translated by Google) Great place to snap some shots late evening. Central Tejo was a thermoelectric power plant, owned by the Reunied Gas and Electricity Companies (CRGE), which supplied the entire Lisbon region with electricity. Built in 1908, its period of productive activity is between 1909 and 1972, although from 1951 it was used as a reserve plant, producing only to complete the energy supply of hydro plants. In 1975 it was disqualified, leaving the productive system. Over time it has undergone several modifications and extensions, having gone through continuous phases of construction and alteration of the production systems. In a new phase of its existence, Central Tejo opened to the public for the first time in 1990, then as a Museum of Electricity. After a new period of restoration work on its buildings and equipment, it definitely reopened in 2006. (Original) Great place to snap some shots late evening. A Central Tejo foi uma central termoelétrica, propriedade das Companhias Reunidas de Gás e Electricidade (CRGE), que abasteceu toda a região de Lisboa de eletricidade. Construída em 1908, o seu período de atividade produtiva está compreendido entre 1909 e 1972, se bem que a partir de 1951 tenha sido utilizada como central de reserva, produzindo apenas para completar a oferta de energia das centrais hídricas. Em 1975 foi desclassificada, saindo do sistema produtivo. Ao longo do tempo sofreu diversas modificações e ampliações, tendo passado por contínuas fases de construção e alteração dos sistemas produtivos. Numa nova fase da sua existência, a Central Tejo abriu ao público pela primeira vez em 1990, então como Museu da Electricidade. Após um novo período de obras de restauro dos seus edifícios e equipamentos, reabriu definitivamente em 2006.

The old coal power plant was transformed to museum of electricity, amazing. Worth a visit if you are fan of technology. This was really authentic experience.

Just an amazing museum! Built in early 20th century power plant facilities, this museum combines a wonderful piece of historical buildings (and internal equipment) preservation, interesting educational materials about electricity and power generation, and some temporary modern art exhibitions (being a part of MAAT). Highly recommended to visit especially for those who are interested in tech history, tech fans, etc.

Real great decommissioned coal power station exhibit. Enjoyed exploring it and learning how power is made + seeing all the mind boggling engineering inside. Glad this one’s decommissioned but it’s concerning how many of these are still being built and operated around the world 🌎

Very interesting museum on the site of a real power plant that was active until the 70s of last century. The building itself is an impressive example of the industrial architecture and it stands by the river in a prime location, close to a number of major monuments related to the Discoveries in Belém.

Go into this museum! Around 8€ and you will see a lot. Art. How a powerplant work. New energy and so on. Perfect also with child’s. Recommended!

Loved my time at the MAAT! The museum is made up of 3 big sections. The first one is housed in an old power plant (Tejo Power Station), the gardens (which I didn't explore much), and the new white building. The museum tends to focus on quality, not quantity. In total, they had 3-4 exhibits but they were large. One of the visiting exhibits is called Plug-in by Joana Vasconcelos. She had 2 large format installations. The first was a true-to-size tree made up of fabric with the roots extending along the exhibit floors. There were tiny LED lights on the branches, between the leaves. You can compare with the people in the background for size. It was incredible. The other was a large octopus in the new building. The Tejo Power Station building also had a permanent exhibit showcasing how the power plant used to operate, plus an exhibit on climate change, as well as the Paris Agreement, etc. It was very informative. They basically have all this large equipment and some of it even still works! (Check out the boiler room) If you have a few days in Lisbon, highly recommend giving MAAT a visit.

A fascinating museum with a lot of cool expositions and equipment. Especially the interactive pieces about the various industries and climate change. Highly recommended!

Nice exhibition of old and new design, art, and energy technology, and it is also a great spot to view Lisbon sunset!

So glad Lisboa chose to turn this abandoned power plant into a museum instead. Really was great to experience a ‘working’ powerhouse from the 1940s

Its a nice place if you want to see an old coal power plant

Wonderful museum and kids really enjoyed it.

Such an interesting visit, well recommended

Enjoy the walk!

Very good for explaining and remembering electric concepts. Grrat for kids and not so kids

There are 9 interactive stations about psychology presented as therapies. Try it its fun

Amazing and complete experience. Everything in such a perfect state of conservation and really amazing videos and photos that absolutely make it a great visit.

Great Museum!

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful museum very interactive but with some things to improve (Original) Um museu muito bonito muito interativo mas com algumas coisas para melhorar

(Translated by Google) The site is fine but if the subject is very specific for people who are interested. The adjacent museum was closed for renovation and was what interested me the most (Original) El sitio está bien pero si temática es muy específica para personas que les interese. El museo adyacente estaba cerrado por obras de remodelación y era lo que más me interesaba

Amazing insight into the workings of an electricity plant powered by coal. You can see the insane working conditions and the pollution such systems bring. I think it really proves the point of why renewable is so much better for the people and the planet.

Neat museum showing off an old steam power plant and its history. Employees are very kind and ensure you see the neatest stuff before it closes. There are also a few art exhibits throughout the old power plant equipment.

Kids love the museum, they can learn about electricity playing. And there's always a great exposition for the adults.

I really enjoyed my visit here but would recommend only if you are interested in the topic of electricity. Great to see old machinery.

The space is very well maintained and there's information about how the station worked placed throughout the building making for an interesting visit.

Loved the place, great museum showing how older power plants worked. Only negative was they could use some more arrows or markings showing the flow through the huge building

Fantastic place to visit. Reminds of Battery Power Station in London. Combines industrial preservation with a contemporary art exhibition

Fascinating look into the history of power generation in Portugal. You get entry to this museum when you get tickets to the MAAT.

I enjoyed the visit to the museum because it offers an insight into the past, the development of electricity, and its contribution to historical and economic development as a result of human action. The museum collections also serve educational purposes. The museum staff are excellent and always ready to meet visitors' needs.

Beautifull museum. Full of old machinery.

Loved it. Worth at least 1h. Very cool to see all the old machines

Absolutely AMAZING I highly recommend visiting the Tejo Power Station. It's a very well maintained factory and museum, it's awesome to see up close to the beautiful marvels of industrialisation where they belong - in a museum. You get access to the station when you purchase the MAAT museum tickets.

Really cool museum. You can learn plenty of stuff.

This was a good visit for our family but .... we were lucky to have a few people in our group that understood how electricity is made. The museum somehow fails to explain this clearly and simply at the very beginning of the visit. As a result, a lot of people visit this very well laid out and kept power plant without really understanding how one starts by burning coal and ends having electricity. If you are technically minded, then I would advise a visit.

Awesome. Huge building. Go inside see all the machinery. 5€ with discount for students.

Very impressive place, brilliant idea to have this power station prepared for display. For the nerd minds this is a dream. You get to walk inside the furnace, and follow in detail the cycles of this kind of power plant. Loved it. Bonus: not crowded!

The power station is one of the parts of MAAP, with this being the most impressive part in my opinion. Both parts cost 9 euro in tot to enter or is also free as a part of the Lisboa card. Some of the art in this section is confronting/disorientating but in a good way. It's so near good transport links and has good ocean views from the front

Very nice museum. Well explained. Very well restored.

I mean like Wow. Grand industrial architecture and fine art in an inspiring context. Who would not love to step into an old coal power plant, see fantastic art and learn about industrial culture. At once. In the truest sense awesome 🤩

Interesting visit if you enjoy the grandeur of industrial installations. Quick walk around if you don’t. Creepy wax life sized wax figurines. You can feel how horrible the working conditions must have been here in the past.

Here one can measure the power of engineering and the magnitude of the solutiohs implemented in due time.....It is well explained workplaces are simulated and we almost understand it..... This place is simply a must for everyone even for the youngsters!!!!!! Highly recommended for at least two hours time.

(Translated by Google) Great exhibitions never disappoint! Come with an open mind and enjoy the exhibitions! (Original) Ótimas exposições nunca desiludem! Venham de mente aberta e apreciem as exposições!

(Translated by Google) Architecture, artistic and technological museum ideal for families with young children. Good value for money, locker to store your backpack and bottle of water ...

(Translated by Google) It is a former coal-fired power station from the 1900s, now a museum. Not too big, the visit is quick if you don't look for the details. Very clean while trying to show the work of the time, by reconstructions or photos. Very educational. Animations on the screen explain well the operation of a central. All texts are in Portuguese and English. Flash is prohibited and large bags remain at the left-luggage office. (Original) C'est une ancienne centrale à charbon des années 1900, aujourd'hui devenue un musée. Pas trop grande, la visite est rapide si on ne cherche pas les détails.
