EXHIBIT RENTAL
The Energy and Technology Museum is the largest technical museum in Lithuania and it is also unique because of its interactive expositions and exhibits. For your events (birthdays, celebrations, exhibitions, filming, conferences, festivals, company celebrations or parties) we offer interactive exhibit rentals. The exhibits will be looked after and an employee of the ETM will tell you more about the principle of their operation.
The authors of most of these interactive exhibits are educators of the museum’s Electronics Workshop. Exhibits have been created in the museum since 2020. They are produced with the museum’s equipment: 3D printers, CO2 laser, programming, using electronic components.
Advance reservation and more information by phone (+370) 601 38397 or e-mail [email protected].
The exhibit is named after the famous inventor, physicist, engineer Nikola Tesla. A Tesla Coil can generate a small but as real lightning as can be seen with the naked eye. Not to mention, with the help of electronics, that lightning can be made to emit music. The exhibit visually illustrates how to transmit electricity over a distance through the air.
This exhibit works using artificial intelligence. Two games are recorded on the console. In the game “Bird” you have to raise your hand up or down to control the bird. The goal of the game is to score as many points as possible. “Draw” involves bringing your index finger and thumb together as if holding a pencil and pointing at the screen, then drawing. Artificial intelligence can be “trained” to recognize specific objects by first scanning hundreds of different examples of them. The console is called retro because it is installed in an old TV.
This exhibit is a musical instrument that tells about the rhythm of music. The distance sensors react to the block placed on the music table. The red lights flash to the beat. Placing the block at any step of the light bulb makes sounds, and each row of black squares makes different sounds.
During experiments, we pass an electric current through the body or light butane gas on the palm of our hand, create a tornado of fire or a substance that is both solid and liquid at the same time. We boil liquid nitrogen at a temperature of -196 degrees, freeze a flower or a berry and experiment with common household chemicals to create extraordinary chemical reactions.
After drawing a picture that they like, the participants will be able to make and press the badge themselves. The activity engages participants of all ages and leaves behind a souvenir to remember.
The Bicycle-Light tree is a symbolic exhibit of the Energy and Technology Museum. The tree lights light up when the bike is pedaled and electricity is generated. The exhibit illustrates how we convert mechanical energy into kinetic energy. It was created to commemorate the lighting of the first light bulb in Rietavas in 1892.
Tesla coil
The Tesla coil is an exhibit named in honor of the famous inventor, physicist, and engineer Nikola Tesla. With the Tesla coil, it is possible to generate a real lightning bolt. Moreover, with the help of electronics, the lightning can be touched by hand. This exhibit vividly demonstrates how to transmit electrical energy through the air over a distance.

3D printers
Van de graaff generator
Give a lightning bolt – literally! A person’s charge is neutral, and the Van de Graaff generator charges us positively. We can share the generated electrons with a friend – by giving them a lightning bolt, we transfer some of our electrons and observe an electric discharge. At the same time, our hair stands up in the air.
