  At the centre of the evening's programme will be a tour of the permanent and temporary exhibitions under the guidance of experienced guides. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the fascinating history of Warsaw's gasworks, explore the mysteries of the city's gas lighting and discover how technology changed the daily lives of the capital's inhabitants - from street lamps to gas cookers that revolutionised the way meals were prepared.
• Retro photo-sphere | 18:00-22:00 
  A special retro photo-sphere, stylised as 19th-century Warsaw, has been prepared for lovers of photography and atmospheric souvenirs.

• Science show ‘Fire!’ | 20:30 
  The evening will culminate in a spectacular, interactive science show entitled "Fire! ‘Fire!’, which will introduce the phenomenon of fire and its key role in the development of industry and civilisation in an accessible and impressive way. A special place in the narrative will be given to the figure of Ignacy Łukasiewicz - the pioneer of the Polish oil industry and inventor of the paraffin lamp, whose work ushered in a new era of light and energy.
• Little Explorer Zone | 18:00-21:00 
  With the youngest participants in mind, the Little Explorer Zone has been prepared - an educational space full of interactive workshops and games, which in a friendly manner introduce children to the world of science, technology and experimentation.
