The Shanghai Telegraph Museum was originally built as a telegraph building by the Danish Great Northern Telegraph Company on the Bund in 1921. The exhibition area spans nearly 3000 square meters. The museum’s displays are primarily divided into five sections: telegraph communication, city telephone communication, long-distance telephone communication, wireless communication, and a comprehensive collection.
In terms of display methods, in addition to physical objects, photographs, text, and charts, the museum also employs painting, scenes, models, and advanced multimedia technology to enrich the exhibition effects, creating an atmosphere for intuitive understanding. Interactive projects integrated with knowledge are also available within the exhibition hall for audience participation. The Shanghai Telegraph Museum serves as a window to understand the history of Shanghai’s telecommunications development and to experience the vicissitudes of telecommunications over the past century. It is also an ideal place for young students to enrich their historical and cultural knowledge and to carry out second-classroom education. The museum is open all year round on Saturdays and Sundays from 09:30 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 00:00.
