Museum of Television and Radio
The Museum of Television and Radio is open Wednesdays through Sundays 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The Museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
Admission: Free, however the suggested contribution is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and students, and $5 for children under the age of fourteen. Members are free.
The Museum is a tribute to Radio and Television from the past through the present. There are many programs available to the public such as seminars throughout the year where directors, writers, performers, producers, critics, etc discuss issues and topics about the behind the scenes process involved in the media industry. These seminars also allow time for the audience to ask questions and include clips from the museum's radio and television collection.
General tours of the museum are available as well. The history, current programs, and an explanation of collections are offered to the public. If interested, contact the front desk for information and to schedule a time.
On Saturdays and Sundays there are programs designed especially for children to enjoy. They have workshops for families with children nine and older where they can recreate radio that is catered to their interests. This is a great learning opportunity for children because it incorporates fun with history.
The Mary and Norman J. Pattiz Museum Shop is a great place to pick of a souvenir. It is located on the Museum's main floor. Here they sell many items such as t-shirts, books, gift items, and posters that relate to television and radio.
The Television and radio are two of the most important media tools of our culture. The Museum of Television and Radio explores those tools in an extremely interesting venue with some hands-on interaction and public participation.
