Such a wonderful time! There were three employees there during the about 2 hours I wandered around. All three made themselves available to answer questions, provided demonstrations of the equipment, and were super sweet about taking photos and videos. The museum was just what I was looking for- super informative, filled with interesting exhibits, and was small enough that I felt satisfied having seen most of everything in my 2 hours. It is quality place and I would be happy to go again. Getting there was easy and parking was available. I loved being able to see the range of machines from the TTY to Phonographs to the professional recording equipment. I even was able to play the theremin and hear an original Edison record player at work! Very, very happy. Thank you to everyone that runs the museum. It is a fantastic experience.

A Minnesota treasure, especially for all those with a love of history of technology. Contains artifacts covering early telegraphy, spark gap radio transmitters, the electron tube, to the first transistor radio. Impressive early television collection, and is starting to get a display started covering the history of the computer. Whether they can stay true to their calling, and appeal to the youth remains to be seen, but we're hoping!!!

This is a small and little known museum but it is FULL of some very high quality radio and TV historical equipment. It has a lot of interactive stuff for people to learn from. Some kids would really enjoy it but other kids might be frustrated with areas that are "do not touch." I'm not an electronic person but I still enjoyed our time here. This is a very small sampling of the photos I took during the visit.

I've been aware of this place from family and friends but I had never gone to visit. The night I was there was an induction ceremony for the Minnesota Broadcaster Hall of Fame, which was certainly fun in its own right. The museum features many displays dealing in Broadcasting, but other aspects of Technology as well. Some of the things they have to show are quite unique. Well worth a visit.

One of my favorite places in the world to geek out. Very nice museum. Great displays, interesting info and presented really nicely. I spent probably about an hour and a half going through it. If you enjoy history, industrial design, graphic design, technology or radios or any combination of the above, you’ll enjoy this place!
