Science Museums – EnergeticA, Amsterdam

 

Hi All,

 

There are a few of you that share my interest in science and natural history. Whenever I am travelling I try to visit local science museums. One of the most memorable was EnergeticA, the Energy Museum, in Amsterdam. Many of you will be aware of the better known NEMO museum but EnergeticA is a real old school science museum housed in an abandoned power station. You feel like you are entering Jules Verne’s imagination.

 

The sad news is that EnergeticA closed in late 2007. Many of the engines, power sources, gas lights and other displays have been ‘saved’ by NEMO, so hopefully they will be put back on display.

 

Some of you will remember my Steam Punk post (click here to be magically transported) and I can tell you that a VH Antiqua would feel very much at home in this place .

 

Hope you enjoy these images.

 

Do you have a favourite science museum?

 

Andrew
