Museum of electrification — Bourganeuf
Refurbishment and museographic redesign of the Grand’Eau site.
Rehabilitation and refitting of the present Museum of Electrification, in the Creuse at the place known as La Grand'Eau. Between 1886 and 1888, driven by engineers Ernest Lamy and Marcel Deprez, Bourganeuf, a sub-prefecture of 4,000 inhabitants, was the first commune in France to be electrified.
Converted into a museum, the site develops a teaching approach focused on the transport of electrical energy and its ecological impact, in partnership with EDF for various loans of equipment and films. Visitors will be received on the ground floor through a large staged hall and a video projection room. A monumental staircase will lead to the upper floor, a vast museum floor offering a remarkable industrial and iconographic heritage.
Scenarchie will also contribute its expertise in integrating the latest multimedia techniques. Extending the visit, a thematic landscaped outdoor route will lead to the waterfall.
