I went with a good friend and ending up spending the whole afternoon there. The exhibits are wonderful. This is a gem of a museum. The  people that run it are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Anyone interested in the history of radio and TV will enjoy this. I must caution visitors that this is not quick in and out. Be prepared to spend some time. It is a lot of fun

A great place to learn about the history of radio and television, and see what came before cell phones.

A charming, small museum (and I love small museums in general)  We were there several years ago, and remember an especially good experience because one of the volunteers gave us a tour, and provided a thought-provoking historical context to all the interesting (and sometimes beautifully crafted) objects gathered there.  He conveyed that long before the Web, radio seemed like a miracle, bringing voices and music and information out of the air. (He was a farm-boy out on the plains of depression-era Midwest).  Large museums, such as the nearby Smithsonian line-up, are impressive.  But they exert a pressure to keep moving on, while a small museum like this is logistically an easy afternoon outing, that  allows time to ponder and discuss and really look at what's offered.  More people should know about this place.
