Nice self guided visit with explanation boards in English. Nearly all of the original machinery is still in place. Also houses two art spaces, one of which had a superb exhibition of the films of Gabriel Abrantes.

Interesting visit if you enjoy the grandeur of industrial installations. Quick walk around if you don’t. Creepy wax life sized wax figurines. You can feel how horrible the working conditions must have been here in the past.
I mean like Wow. Grand industrial architecture and fine art in an inspiring context. Who would not love to step into an old coal power plant, see fantastic art and learn about industrial culture. At once. In the truest sense awesome
Here one can measure the power of engineering and the magnitude of the solutiohs implemented in due time.....It is well explained workplaces are simulated and we almost understand it..... This place is simply a must for everyone even for the youngsters!!!!!! Highly recommended for at least two hours time.
The power station is one of the parts of MAAP, with this being the most impressive part in my opinion. Both parts cost 9 euro in tot to enter or is also free as a part of the Lisboa card. Some of the art in this section is confronting/disorientating but in a good way. It's so near good transport links and has good ocean views from the front
Very impressive place, brilliant idea to have this power station prepared for display. For the nerd minds this is a dream. You get to walk inside the furnace, and follow in detail the cycles of this kind of power plant. Loved it. Bonus: not crowded!
Very nice museum. Well explained. Very well restored.
This was a good visit for our family but .... we were lucky to have a few people in our group that understood how electricity is made. The museum somehow fails to explain this clearly and simply at the very beginning of the visit. As a result, a lot of people visit this very well laid out and kept power plant without really understanding how one starts by burning coal and ends having electricity. If you are technically minded, then I would advise a visit.
