On top of that the museum has side collections on photography, medical equipment, a repair shop, a “to measure = to know” section with various test equipment and a technical library with contains dated technical publications.
Younger generation visitors will be fascinated to see how daily living was for people having only this seemingly primitive technology before the digital revolution took hold of our world. Maybe for the first time in their lives they will see Black and White TV’s without remote control, gramophone records and tape recorders!  An eye opening experience, considering that this equipment was very much state of the art when it became available, and was the best technology had to offer in its day.
