★★★★★3 months agoHands on the best historical industrial building I have ever visited. The art exhibition is not particularly great but just the building and way it was transformed is worth the visit.

The museum offers a captivating insight into the history and future of power generation. The interactive exhibits and mini-games were engaging and informative, making the visit enjoyable for all ages. The building itself is a stunning example of industrial architecture, and its riverside location adds to its charm.
