Connexions - The Plugged-in World of Communications
Make a special visit to the Museum to see our major exhibition on communications. It is the largest exhibition of its kind in Canada, illustrating the history of electric and electronic communications in Canada. We use our rich collection of artifacts to show how our modes of communications have evolved through the 19th and 20th centuries and will continue to evolve in the future! Explore the evolution of communications through the telegraph, telephone, radiocommunications, radio and TV broadcasting, and discover the lives of Canadian inventors such as Alexander Graham Bell and Reginald Fessenden. Don't miss the working amateur radio station right in the exhibit, VE3JW.
Informative and interactive, this new area introduces visitors to the science and processes by which messages are formatted for travel through a digital network. With slides, videos, interactive displays and games, as well as numerous artefacts, this exhibit offers an exceptional visitor experience.
