The Durango Discovery Museum or Powerhouse Science Center is an interactive science center located in Durango, Colorado. The museum opened on February 23, 2011 in what was once a power plant. The museum is located in the Durango Light and Power Company building, built in 1892. The plant was a very early alternating current power plant, the power we use today, meaning the town of Durango had AC powered street lights before many large cities in the East. In honor of its past, Durango Discovery Museum focuses on energy-related themes throughout its exhibit spaces and in its outreach programs. The renovated Mission-style Powerhouse is a state and national historic place. Today, the original boiler room remains intact and serves as the science center's theater. Located on the bank of the Animas River, along the Animas River Trail, the Durango Discovery Museum is part of the City of Durango's initiative to revitalize the riverfront to improve Colorado tourism. The Museum is located at 1333 Camino Del Rio, Durango, Colorado. == Events and Activities == The Four Corners First Lego League, a regional Lego Robotics competition, was coordinated by the museum in 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Durango Discovery Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
