RussiaWhat to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
Museum of communications in Nizhny Novgorod – this museum is not for a wide range of tourists, but those "who is in the topic" will definitely appreciate this place. In fact, this is not even a museum, but just a thematic exhibition in the working Office of Rostelecom, i.e. while you are considering the exhibits, the girls in the center of the hall will be engaged in customer service.
The exposition is based on old telephones and radio stations, telegraphs, modern means of communication, cables, etc. The collection for such a place is large and worthy, but the descriptions of the exhibits are very brief or not at all, so only specialists can understand the purpose of individual items. You can view the entire exhibition in 5 minutes.
