A complete and highly lectured museum, with much more time than planned. The exhibits are informative but often with a playful twist that eases the desire to learn. Perfect and good for all ages. Wow! When I say this is quite the museum for the communication/technology nerd. I mean it. All descriptions around the museum are available in English as well as German. In addition to the vast amount of artifacts on display from the age of stone tablets to the smart phone era, they have authentic real working machines that they are happy to demonstrate is you ask. For example, they have a mail sorting machine, a rotary/dial telephone exchange that you can actually witness the mechanics of for each number you dial, and even a simple hand crank phone system. Highly recommended you come here with a friend because many of the interactive exhibits, believe it or not, are meant to demonstrate communication between 2 or more parties! But that said I came alone and still had a ton of fun. Only thing I noticed missing was any details on pneumatic tube systems? A miss for the museum? or more likely I missed it in the incredible vastness of the exhibits?

The museum has exhibits on communication including mail, books, telegraph, telephone, radio, television and computer etc. The exhibits were really interesting. The management has tried hard to make the exhibits both informative and entertaining. You can sense the vibrancy. The first floor has a children's area which is a nice touch It was a festival weekend when I visited and the museum had face painting for young children in the courtyard. Later on they had dance music playing and there were teenagers and young adults (just ordinary people) performing choreographed dances in the courtyard. So the museum is trying hard to reach out to young people. It is a great place to visit.
