An Electrical Engineer’s Art Museum

Paris’s city museum of modern art displays “The Electricity Fairy,” a massive 1937 mural by Raoul Dufy. This is off the beaten tourist track but well worth a visit if you’re technically inclined. Nearly every electrical unit is represented by a figure, with Amps, Ohms, and Volts close together. Scientists and mathematicians are given due credit, with greats such as Maxwell and Leibniz (“Leibnitz” in French; competitor Newton is not depicted!).

  1. It is really a great piece of art depicting the various units relate to electrical science. This unusual work of art is a must see for electrical engineers and technically interested people. I’d love to visit the museum one day and see this modern art paying homage to the great scientists.
