Museum for Communication Frankfurt

The museum has exhibits on communication including mail, books, telegraph, telephone, radio, television and computer etc. The exhibits were really interesting. The management has tried hard to make the exhibits both informative and entertaining. You can sense the vibrancy.
The first floor has a children's area which is a nice touch
It was a festival weekend when I visited and the museum had face painting for young children in the courtyard. Later on they had dance music playing and there were teenagers and young adults (just ordinary people) performing choreographed dances in the courtyard. So the museum is trying hard to reach out to young people.
It is a great place to visit.

Wow! When I say this is quite the museum for the communication/technology nerd. I mean it. All descriptions around the museum are available in English as well as German. In addition to the vast amount of artifacts on display from the age of stone tablets to the smart phone era, they have authentic real working machines that they are happy to demonstrate is you ask. For example, they have a mail sorting machine, a rotary/dial telephone exchange that you can actually witness the mechanics of for each number you dial, and even a simple hand crank phone system. Highly recommended you come here with a friend because many of the interactive exhibits, believe it or not, are meant to demonstrate communication between 2 or more parties! But that said I came alone and still had a ton of fun. Only thing I noticed missing was any details on pneumatic tube systems? A miss for the museum? or more likely I missed it in the incredible vastness of the exhibits?

Fascinating, thorough and highly educational museum where one can spend far more time than planned. The exhibits are informative but often with an entertaining twist that facilitate the desire to learn. Excellent, and good for all ages.

We celebrated a birthday here (8 year old) and the girls had amazing fun. Totally recommended for a birthday party. The museum itself also has many interesting exhibits.

A very well designed, wholesome, and interesting museum.
Communication’s history is superbly described and post historic vehicles are shown and very well maintained.
Staff was so helpful sans kind.
A must to go if you want to spend some time with your children or with partner or friends!

So much information. This was a fantastic museum. If there is a way or method to transmit a message, there is an example in that museum.

Absolutely fantastic!
