This exhibition — the first on Tesla in Spain to bear the official seal of the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, the official depository of the legacy of the great Serbian scientist — reflects the life of this extraordinary innovator and engineer. 

He is one of the most brilliant minds the world has ever have known, as well as the father of the development of the alternating current as a source of energy, the induction motor, and the wireless transmission of energy. His great competitor, Thomas Alva Edison (with whom he starred in the famous "war of currents") and other contemporaries took credit for some of his inventions, but during his lifetime he never ceased to create.

This exhibition at the CosmoCaixa Science Museum delves into the life of a true pioneer of modern technology. Idealistic, versatile and a visionary, he is a legendary figure in the history of science.
