1930s Living Room Diorama
The nostalgic setting invites visitors into a parlor of a typical American home in the 1930s, where they can tune a 1936 Zenith to a number of classic radio shows and major news broadcasts of the period. Listen to the Lone Ranger, the Shadow, the Green Hornet and others, just as they were heard in the 1930s. A vintage rotary telephone connects to the Museum's front desk and to the voices of Museum staff, who are always available to provide background about the Golden Age of Radio, when the world was changed by this first example of instantaneous mass communication.

This exhibit features a collection of rare "breadboard" radios produced and sold by Atwater Kent, one of the premiere radio manufacturers of the 1920s. Atwater Kent realized customers were purchasing their components and using them to produce finished radios. AK reasoned that if they mounted the components and sold the complete radio, they would have a winner; they did. Seventeen different models are on display, beginning with an early crystal set, which was only sold as individual components to be mounted and finished by the purchaser, all the way to the Model 12, which officially ended the "breadboard" era for AK.

Collins Wireless Telephone
A mobile phone in 1909? This exhibit, featuring the only known surviving Collins Wireless Telephone, tells the tale of an invention that was promised to be just that. It is a story of misplaced motives, overstated claims and the appropriation of scientific potential by unscrupulous entrepreneurs mindful of only potential profits. All new technologies attract a few who value the rewards of the marketplace over others' regard for scientific achievement.
