Description: Bucharest museum featuring technology exhibits including steam engines and an electrical tram engine.
The museum was founded in 1909 by engineer Dimitrie Leonida (1883-1965) following the model of the Technical Museum from Munchen (1903), that Leonida visited while he was a student (1903 - 1908)at the Charlottenburg Polytehnic, near berlin. In 1908 Dimitrie Leonida founded the first school for training electricians and mechanics in Romania. the teacher gathered, together with his students, the first pieces that were to represent the base of the future museum(1909). Its strong didactic character differs it from other museums of the same type. Its founder wanted it to be a school where everyone could see and even operate on mechanisms that illustrate the mechanics, electricity and magnetism laws. In 1928 the museum was sheltered inside one of the pavilions from the Carol I park. Beginning with 1935 it was sheltered by its present-day building.
