Museum of Communication

From cuneiform to stagecoaches, from rotary-dial telephones to GPT chat: This interactive permanent exhibition illustrates the diverse ways people have communicated throughout history using concrete exhibits, including, for example, an amateur radio station on the roof. The exhibition also explores how communication shapes our lives and daily routines—whether it’s the sense of stress and increased pace brought on by digitalization or the question of to what extent the data we leave behind in the digital world becomes a sought-after commodity for companies. Exciting special exhibitions on individual objects or topics related to communication round out the program, and there are plenty of events here especially for children, such as an open children’s workshop: Here, on Wednesdays, weekends, and during school breaks, children can get hands-on and send a pneumatic tube message, communicate with each other using Morse code, or print texts with movable type, just as Gutenberg once did.
