Museum of Electrical Engineering
Set in a striking Bauhaus-style building on Kazinczy Street, the Museum of Electrical Engineering in Budapest offers a dynamic exploration of Hungary’s contributions to electrification and innovation. Originally a transformer station, the building itself is a national monument adorned with Zsolnay tiles and art deco flooring. Inside, eight permanent exhibitions trace the evolution of electrical engineering, from railway electrification and lighting technology to transformer production and household appliances. Visitors can interact with historic devices, generate electricity using dynamos, and witness lightning from a replica of Ányos Jedlik’s condenser battery. A highlight is the “Neonparade” in the courtyard, showcasing vintage neon signs that once lit up Budapest’s streets. The museum blends hands-on learning with cultural nostalgia, making it a unique destination for tech enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. Its central location in the Jewish Quarter adds to its appeal, offering a fascinating contrast between industrial heritage and urban vibrancy.
Budapest HungaryThe Museum of Electrical Engineering (Hungarian Electrotechnical Museum) is located at Kazinczy utca 21, in Budapest’s lively 7th district, Erzsébetváros, an area renowned for its historic Jewish Quarter atmosphere and vibrant nightlife. Housed in a former Bauhaus-style transformer station—a national monument with original Zsolnay tile and art deco details—the museum offers a journey through Hungary’s rich history of electrification, engineering, and design innovation. Visitors can explore interactive exhibits spanning railway electrification, lighting, transformers, vintage household appliances, and rare gadgets, as well as the nostalgic open-air "Neonparade" of classic Hungarian neon shop signs in the inner courtyard. The museum is just steps away from the Dohány Street Synagogue, Europe’s largest synagogue, and close to other district highlights like ruin bars, quirky cafés, and street art. Rákóczi út and Uránia National Film Theatre are a short walk, linking you to the city’s main sights by public transport or foot. Its central location makes it easy to combine a visit with exploring Budapest’s culture, cuisine, and historic architecture in one of its most dynamic neighborhoods.
