Entering a new phase of its existence, the Tejo Power Station opened to the public for the first time in 1990 as an Electricity Museum.

The museum’s permanent exhibition, called the Power Station Circuit, presents original machinery in a perfect state of conservation, which tells the story of this old plant, as well as of the evolution of electricity up to renewable energy.

In 2016, the Tejo Power Station also became one of the sites for MAAT – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, thereby reinforcing its vocation as a space to present contemporary art.
