The Sadu 1 Energy Museum is located in the building of the oldest hydroelectric plant in operation in Romania. It was inaugurated on December 16, 1896. With all the equipment in working order, the plant itself represents the most valuable exhibit of this museum. On the upper floor, above the machine room, in the former rooms for the operating personnel, 3 rooms have been set up in which are exposed equipment, tools, materials, and documents that illustrate stages of energy development in southern Transylvania.
