The first central power station in Vilnius attracts the attention of passers-by now more than ever, and it destroys the established stereotypes of a traditional museum.

The expanded energy exhibition allows visitors to experience the authentic equipment of a recently operational power plant, and a stroll around steam boilers, turbines, generators, condensers and sophisticated pipelines allows visitors to experience the spirit of this type of industrial facility.

The wind and solar power plants, which operate on the roof of the museum, present the society with an increasingly more important alternative source of energy every day. The energy exposition is supplemented by information terminals and existing models of Kruonis Pumped Storage and Ignalina Nuclear Power Plants.

Brief History

Opened in 2003, the museum occupied only 17 percent of the premises of this industrial heritage site, but after the completion of reconstruction in the fall of 2008, which was supported by EU structural funds, the museum expanded from 800 m² to 5,000 m².

Along with the area, the number of exhibitions increased and the whole theme changed as well – the museum became the largest technical museum in Lithuania in regards to its content.

Technical Creativity Center (TKC) was founded in 1955. in November The institution did not have its own premises, it was located in Šiauliai, it was located in the house of city pioneers, Aušras aleja, and it was called Šiauliai Young Technicians Center.

We visit the Siauliai STEAM center and our students from the STEMAction for the Future Project work in groups creating a city of the future. They are evaluated by a panel of experts. Fantastic learning.

Kaziuko mugė or Saint Casimir's Fair is a large annual folk arts and crafts fair in Lithuania, dating to the beginning of the 17th century. The fair is traditionally held in city's markets and streets on the Sunday nearest to 4 March (Feast of St. Casimir), the anniversary of Saint Casimir's death. In Lithuanian, Kaziukas is a diminutive of Casimir. Today, Saint Casimir's fair also features music, dance, theater performances; it attracts tens of thousands of visitors and many craftsmen from across Lithuania as well as from neighbouring countries such as Latvia, and Poland. In recent years, the fair has expanded into other cities in Lithuania, Belarus, Poland.

At the Siauliai social school, they present their traditional annual fair, where throughout the day students sell objects made by them or their families. A tradition worthy of praise, since our roots imply culture.
