For our PACCE Project, we need to each make a brochure for possible students studying in Budapest, Hungary. This brochure will be sent to the University and shall include multiple recommendations for sites to see that pertain to the history of science and technology. From tours with the group, we have many options to chose from to include. Friday afternoon, we spent time exploring other options on our own. I went to the Electrotechnical Museum.

The first part of the museum was an interactive display room. This display allowed you to play around with the experiments on your own. For instance, there was a display that showed yourself as a human battery. Other main experiments included Jacob’s Ladder and a magnetic field representation. In the other part of the museum, all of the  artifacts related to science and technology. In one of the rooms, it had various glass cases. Each case was filled with the same item but from a different time. It was set up like a timeline. For example, one showed many razors from a large range of years. This museum had a lot of very interesting artifacts that I would recommend seeing.

It's really neat that they would have things like Jacob's Ladder. Demos and hands on learning is super effective with portraying a concept.

The timeline cases sounds really cool, to be able to view the progression of the same piece of tech in multiple iterations sounds very interesting.
