The tour is uninformative, jumping from one fact to another, the interactivity that they boast about is interesting for children, but there is simply no time for all these buttons. Tours must be divided by age. In general, the idea is not clear - either this is the history of hydropower, or the history of the Uglich hydroelectric power station. And the end of the tour is generally enchanting - the hall about the prisoners who built the hydroelectric power station. It is clear that this is a tragic page in our history, but according to the creators of the excursion, everything was done by prisoners with a pick and shovel. I’m embarrassed to ask - where were the designers and engineers? The management should think about it and listen once to what the museum employees are bringing to the masses. And don’t unsubscribe to a negative review - we’re sorry that you didn’t like it, but really think about what’s wrong with the exhibition and the story.

Lots and lots of industry information - for both kids and grown-ups. You are not allowed into the plant, which is just next door, but the museum, or rather, information center provides enough info - history and current state.
