Museum of Communication

The Communications Museum is the direct heir to the Royal Bavarian Transport and Post Museum, founded in the late nineteenth century. In 1899, a major exhibition devoted to the history of the railway opened, and three years later - in 1902 - it was supplemented by a section on the history of the Bavarian post and telegraph. Construction of the building in which the museum is now located began in 1914, but was interrupted by the First World War and completed only in 1925.

Visitors to the Museum of Communications are presented with the history of Bavarian post and the development of communications, which dates back almost 500 years and covers the period from the era to the present. The main topics of the permanent exhibition are devoted to the development of postal transportation, travel "by post", the history of telephony and telegraph. Among the exhibits of the museum you can see the original post coaches and cars, once engaged in the delivery of correspondence, as well as a variety of technical devices. It has everything from old telegraphs and teletypes to the most modern means of satellite communication. The museum also has an extensive collection of film and video films.
