Go from the Past to the Present in a unique exhibition


The Electric Car Museum unveils more than a hundred years of history that changed the life of Porto. Forever. Embark on an interactive journey and discover the exhibition that tells the story of the evolution of Porto's electric traction network.

Electric Car Museum
Inaugurated in 1915

Thermoelectric Power Plant

Unique location for energy production

The Massarelos Power Plant was from early on a unique location for energy production that quickly became interconnected with the city. The history of this energy flow, which originates from the power plant and gives rise to the movement of the trams through the city, is reflected in the Electric Tram Museum and its various sections, offering new experiences along the lines defined by the tram tracks or within the building's structures.
Between the Lines

Historical Collection

Vehicles on Rails

Between the Lines is the permanent exhibition, where history and technologies intersect to tell the story of the evolution of the electric traction network of the city of Porto, powered, in its first 45 years, by energy produced at the century-old Thermal Power Plant of Massarelos.

Relive the memory of bygone eras aboard historic electric trams while discovering the social and economic transformations of the Invicta city that accompany the implementation of the rail transport network.
