The Hydroelectricity Museum, located in the village of Cedegolo, is situated in a former 1910 hydroelectric plant, remarkably interesting from the architectonic and engineering point of view. The Museum is dedicated to the crucial role of hydroelectricity in the Italian industrialisation process. The aims of the Museum are spreading the scientific knowledge in the energy and environmental field and organizing production traditions, history and material culture of the territory. The Hydroelectricity Museum is part of Musil, the Museum of industry and work of Brescia, which includes other two museums in the same district: the Musil of Rodengo Saiano and the Museum of Iron in Brescia.
