The Museum was founded to exhibit items that showcase
the highlights of technological developments in the 20th century. While
this may seem too recent a subject for a historical museum, with the rapid
pace of technological change, items from the first half of the 20th century
are truly "museum pieces" at this point in time. Technology from the latter
half of the century may not seem so antiquated, but items from this period
help to show how the earlier items relate to current technology. Major
items of significance on display include electronic media (radio,
television, film, phonographs, etc.) We expect that the collection will
grow to encompass more areas of technology as the Museum matures.
