[Translated by eTranslation]

The introduction of electricity into cities is considered a turning point. The exhibition shows the fascinating and at the same time dangerous history of electricity – from its technical beginnings to the medical consequences of electricity accidents.

Historical preparations, case histories, graphics and interactive media convey how electric current affects the human body, what role pioneers such as Samuel Jellinek played and how accident prevention, first aid and modern medicine can save lives.

The special exhibition will be on view until 24 April 2027.
