The museum staff running the lightning and electricity show demonstrates how lightning is redirected around the exterior of a metal shell. There is one artificial lightning strike early on (you can hear the static crackling in the audio) and then the generator stalls. Gets going again and really kicks in at 1:19 or 1:20 of the video. At one point the operator puts her hand at the top of the cage and multiple bolts hit that spot.
