Museum for Communication Berlin (1898)

The Museum for Communication was originally founded in 1872 as the world’s first postal museum. The historic building opened to the public in 1898. From the bullroarer and smoke signals to Morse code and the smartphone, the museum traces the fascinating development of communications media. It also shows how electricity revolutionized communication. One very special exhibit is the first telephone in the world, invented by Philipp Reis. And the museum is interactive, offering the opportunity to operate a pneumatic tube system, an optical telegraph, and a typewriter. You can also meet friendly robots in the atrium.
