Guided tour and survey booklets
At the heart of the museum's collections, visitors are invited to delve into the fascinating history of broadcasting.

This tour retraces the major stages of this technological revolution: from Heinrich Hertz's first experiments at the end of the XIXᵉ century, to Guglielmo Marconi's decisive invention, to contemporary developments in broadcasting modes (AM waves, FM waves and DAB+). Through an illustrated tour, the public will discover how radio has been perfected over time, how its uses have evolved, and what innovations have shaped its place in the modern world.

At the end of the tour, the museum's mediator will invite participants to consider the future of broadcasting: what challenges, innovations and reinventions will this century-old medium face?
