The Electricity Museum, known by the locals as “Casa da Luz”, is located in the building where the Funchal Thermal Power Station once operated. The museum displays documents and machinery that give visitors an idea of how the region’s electricity supply network evolved.

The permanent exhibition allows visitors to go through various periods in the development of electricity, not only in the region but also around the world, and includes interactive elements.

The museum also hosts temporary exhibits on a wealth of subjects.
