Exhibition

The exhibition’s four rooms address the subject of communication – be it by means of sounds, images, texts, or internet - through a wealth of highly varied exhibits.

Exhibits include the first German telephone, postal delivery vehicles and various communications equipment.^[2]

Over 400 objects enable visitors not only to comprehend the mechanisms that facilitate communication but also to experience them first-hand. Interactive stations invite both children and adults to become a part of the exhibition, be it through the writing workshop, by trying out the pneumatic post, or by playing the role of presenter in a TV studio. This hands-on approach places the Museum of Communication Nuremberg firmly among Europe’s most modern and forward-looking museums.

One of the exhibition’s key design elements is the matching of individual architecture to the themes covered in the respective room. Completing the museum’s range of offerings are attractive changing exhibitions focusing on a variety of different facets of communication. A wide range of guided tours, courses, and children’s birthday events can be booked through the museum’s education department.
