Bonjour

savoir et connaitre are both translated as "to know" in English

But in French, they have a different meaning :

this verb is  followed

- by a verb infinitive and means you've learned to do something.. It expresses an abilty

- Elle sait jouer de la guitare = she knows how to play the guitar

- it can also be followed by a subordinate clause to express a fact

Elle sait quand nous allons partir = she knows when we are going to leave.

-

CONNAITRE

This verb is followed by a noun, always a direct object,  never by a subordinate clause nor by another verb

it is used for people,acquaintances,  places...

- Je connais ce restaurant = I know this restaurant.

- Tu connais mes parents =  You know my parents

-

You know this city = tu connais cette ville  (you've been there; you know it exists)

You know where is this city = tu sais où elle se trouve (you've learned where it  is ...)

-

you know people, places.. = tu connais des gens, des endroits

but

this museum takes up the entire history of electricity from its beginning to the present day, we appreciate the exhibitions and the references to those who were the first to master electricity and exhibit many ancient instruments of electric hope. many films and audio recording available to explain the operation of the devices and each and translated into 3 languages. (english, french, german). the explanations are simple and can be understood even by a young audience. many games and experiences are available for self-made throughout the visit. the animation around static electricity is well done and generally delights children. there is also the "nostalgia" part in which we can find the household appliances of our youth, that of our parents, or even our grandparents. the setting is warm, informative and entertaining. the museum is quite well done in all. it provides useful knowledge about electricity.
