Flagship immersive exhibits

Patent first.
Then spectacle.

These are the first three exhibits being rebuilt around a strict source-lock: the reconstruction must agree with the patent before photoreal materials, cinematic lighting, 3D, or lore are layered on top.

Guided collection

The birth of polyphase power

Follow four closely related 1888 filings and see why Tesla needed more than one patent to protect a complete electrical system.

Flagship release

Interactive Patent Labs

The first twelve labs are deliberately custom-built. Similar-looking patents explain their exact differences instead of repeating a generic category diagram.
