The museum tells the story of the Barberine hydroelectric complex (Barberine and Emosson dams), first operated in 1923. The Barberine dam was built in 1925. It was covered in 1973 by the waters of the Emosson dam, which now holds some 227 million m3 of water and forms a lake covering 327 ha. Photographs, technical equipment, various materials and period tools recall this fantastic adventure and underline the complexity of such an undertaking. A visit to the plant, still in operation today, is an integral part of the exhibition.
