Exhibition Layout
The museum's exhibitions are divided into two main areas:
- First Floor: Postal and Philatelic Exhibition Area – This area collects systems, technological artifacts, and equipment used in the development of long-distance communications. It showcases stamp collections and postal instruments closely related to the history of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
- Second Floor: Telecommunications Exhibition Area – This is an extremely interactive zone in the museum. In addition to displaying telecommunications equipment connected to the historical development of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, it gathers scientific exhibits on themes such as electromagnetism, static electricity, direct current, alternating current, telegraphy, telephony, radio broadcasting, information processing, transmission, analog electronics, and digital electronics. This helps visitors understand the development of communication media, technology, and cutting-edge science.
