Museum of Communication

The new core exhibition on communication covers almost 2,000 square metres and promises even more of what many people love about the Museum of Communication: In addition to interactive stations, surprising objects and large video screens, the Museum of Communication now also has flesh-and-blood people to convey the fascination of the world of communication.

The new core exhibition covers almost 2,000 square meters and is filled with everything that fans of the Museum of Communication love. In addition to interactive stations, unusual objects and giant video screens, real live people also share fascinating facts and insights about communication. With its new design, the museum is keeping pace with the times and was awarded the prestigious Council of Europe Museum Prize in 2019.

The exhibition is divided into themed zones devoted to different aspects of communication. Numerous interactive and regularly rotating stations enable visitors of all ages to experience the educational content at their own level. No matter which generation you belong to, you’ll be able to immerse yourself in the constantly changing and ephemeral world of communication.

“Dale a tu cuerpo alegría, Macarena. Heeeey, Macarena.” Very few people know that this song is by the band Los del Rio. However, most people will know the corresponding dance moves. Dancing unites and promotes joy. Even though each country has their own dancing traditions, we cannot fathom a world or a culture without dance. The new “Dance!” exhibition at the Museum of Communication (starting from 8 November 2024) is dedicated to this phenomenon: the special power of rhythmic movement, the link between dance and (youth) cultures and instances when a dance move might be cause for irritation and embarrassment. From the classic Viennese waltz to modern Tiktok trends, this exhibition lets visitors immerse themselves in the world of one of humanity’s most beautiful pastimes.
