FROM OARS TO ELECTRIC | 2023
From Oars to Electric is an interactive exhibition about the technological progress in propulsion, shipping and maritime travel in Porsgrunn’s history: from the Old Iron Age to the present.
This is a varied exhibition: it has history, interactivity, sound, light and games. Learn to distinguish different types of vessels by building your own ship. Try to shovel as much coal as possible in the shortest amount of time to keep the steamboat afloat! What about shipping technology and “the green shift” in industry in Norway? Test it out!
An interactive timeline, “magical” interactive points on the wall, a boat and several interactive installations and displays are highlights in the exhibition.
