It can be said that the idea that led to the creation of a Museum of Electrical Technology in Pavia was in 1998, on the eve of the celebrations for the bicentenary of the invention of the electric battery by Alessandro Volta, at the University of Pavia was established the Interdepartmental Research Centre for the History of Electrical Technology in order to develop studies and research on the evolution of Electrical Technology and at the same time to continue the collection of documentary material in towards creating a Museum of Electrical Technology, collection continued for over ten years at the Department of Electrical Engineering of the University.
The Museum project is therefore an initiative of the University of Pavia in order to pay homage to one of the great lights of this city. Inside the museum you can find various collections. The collection of which is based collection in over a decade at the Department of Electrical Engineering. Over 3000 specimens, mainly in the electricity sector, come from Italian electro-mechanical industries, power companies, private collectors. Since March 1999, the University also has the entire collection as early as ENEL Energy Museum Electrical Rome, which was sold on loan to the University. It consists of 400 pieces, large and small. Gradually, in the meantime, some private collector, heard of the project for the new Museum, the University has entrusted the task of preserving what has often collected with interest and care in our lifetime.
In January 2001 she was ever purchased by the University, another large collection SIRTI, a leading company in the telecommunications sector, has given on loan to the University. It is an impressive collection of over three thousand specimens, mostly in the field of telegraphy and telephony.
The new museum will be located in the center for science at the University, a suburb northwest of the city. The architectural solution for the structure, which will have a covered area of \u200b\u200b5,000 square meters, is quite striking as well as functional. The structure will in fact buried in a hill that will integrate seamlessly with the surrounding natural and built-up area. Inside
will place a large warehouse, galleries for permanent and temporary exhibitions, an archive and library in addition to various services.
The exhibits will be located in large and unwieldy outdoor green space and will be strong grounds for appeal. The narrative museum is being defined: it will follow the chronological framework of wider issues relevant to the field of electrical technology: production, transport, distribution and use of electricity, communications, electricity, other applications . The chronological sequence of the second half of the nineteenth century to the present day will be marked by a number of stages in which it will offer a concise overview of the evolution of electrical technology until then, through original artefacts, models, pictures, simulations, video and other multimedia applications.
