“Experience Tesla”
The Expo will present Tesla’s scientific artifacts from the archive of the Nikola Tesla Museum Belgrade-Serbia, as well as replicas of his inventions.
This event is designed to raise awareness about Tesla, his work, and how it is still relevant and alive in our ultra-connected tech world.
"In 2006 and 2011 similar exhibitions of Tesla's invention replicas, personal correspondence and artefacts was hosted in Fremantle and Perth and both were a huge success, with a very large number of visitors, some coming from Eastern states of Australia and even from Asia. Similarly to last time, we intend to make the exhibition free to attend for everybody. The purpose is to inspire people of all ages, and in particular youth, to develop an appreciation and interest in science and innovation", said for SBS Serbian the Vice President and one of the founding members of Tesla Forum Branislav Grbovic..
Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade had organized more than 150 exhibitions in more than 20 countries on 4 continents.
The most notable visiting exhibitions of the Museum were in:
- Perth (Western Power, Museum of World Energy, Fremantle, 2006, and the Town Hall in 2011),
- Vancouver (BC Hydro Building, 2006), Vienna (Vienna University of Technology, 2006)
- Paris (Serbian Cultural Center, 2007), Hanover (Hanover Fair, 2006),
- Milhouse (EDF Electropolis Museum of Electricity, 2007),
- Thessaloniki (Teloglion Foundation of Art at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 2009),
- Belgrade (XXV Summer Universiade, 2009),
- Shanghai (Serbian Pavilion at World Expo Shanghai 2010), Seoul (IACE 2010 – The International Archival Culture Exhibition), Chicago (Navy Pier, 2011)
- New York (New York Hall of Science, 2013),
- Madrid (Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences, 2012, and Telefonica Building, 2014), as well as many others.
Tesla Forum, Perth is run by volunteers and it is not for profit organization.
"That is why every support to our events is always important and very much appreciated."
"The organising of this exhibition is a complex task and significant funds are required for shipping of exhibits, insurance, Museum representatives travel costs, Town Hall hire, marketing etc. This is quite a significant challenge for a community group like ours, especially in the current economic environment", said Grbovic.
