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.
Before you go
The winter hours are unclear. Confirm a winter visit and any appointments outside the regular afternoons in advance.
