With Power2Change, the Schwerin Technology Museum presents an exhibition dedicated to the central challenges and opportunities of global energy transition. Using historical objects, technical innovations, and interactive presentations, the show brings to life the development of energy sources, methods of generation, and their significance for society and the environment.
Power2Change focuses on the multifaceted aspects that shape our use of energy: from the beginnings of industrial energy production and the use of fossil fuels to renewable technologies and visions of the future. The exhibition shows how technical inventions, political conditions, and social expectations are closely linked and how they together shape the path to a more sustainable energy future. It focuses not only on mechanisms and systems, but also on the people who stand at the decisive interfaces of research, production, and application.
Through a mix of historical exhibits, interactive modules, and informative contributions, Power2Change invites visitors to ask questions: How has energy changed our everyday lives and our living environments? What role does innovation play in transforming our energy systems? And what might tomorrow's technologies look like that better combine ecological, social, and economic balance? The exhibition offers a comprehensible yet sophisticated introduction to a topic that is one of the most pressing issues of our time, both globally and locally, and opens up perspectives on ways in which change can be shaped.
