The Électrium, Hydro-Québec's Electricity Interpretation Centre

 
It will make your hair stand on end!

Electricity and science made accessible!


Would you like to explore the electrical environment we live in? Want to relive the experiments of Edison, Ampère, Ohm and Volta as they made their amazing discoveries?

Visit the Électrium, Hydro-Québec's electricity interpretation centre located in Sainte-Julie, in Montérégie.

The Électrium is an entertaining and dynamic way to learn about the role of electricity in the human body, the origin of lightning and the secrets of the electric eel. You can also find out everything there is to know about electric and magnetic fields.

New exhibits at the Électrium demonstrate how wind power and hydroelectricity complement each other. In addition, an interactive model and a brand new film, Follow the Line, explain the basics of generating and transmitting power, from the generating station to our homes.

A thoroughly electrifying experience!
