Tuning in to a station
A radio is more than its exterior. Look at how a user had to operate the set and what information was made visible. The explanation can show how tuning worked on sets that look very different from a present-day receiver.
A message in signals
Morse and telegraphy are also part of the display. That offers a comparison with spoken sound: how is a message turned into something that can be sent and then understood again? Ask which set-ups make this clear during your visit.
Music that is preserved
Records and other forms of sound recording broaden the collection. A recording has both content and a medium. Compare what you need to play the different formats and what role the device plays in that.
In the collection
The museum’s photographs show radio sets alongside electrical appliances used at home.
Before you go
The museum is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 14:00 to 17:00. Visits outside those hours are by appointment.

The collection update, opening hours and four images were supplied by the chair of Museum Electro-Radio-Nostalgie on 12 October 2026. Other profile details were gathered earlier.
