Museums

Dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich history of radio and television.

Through its extensive archives, exhibitions, public programs, screenings, publications, and digital platforms, the MBC brings the rich legacy of broadcasting to life. The Museum explores the evolution of radio and television, highlighting not only the technological innovations that have shaped the medium but also the cultural impact of the voices and visionaries—on-air and behind the scenes—who have defined generations.

The MBC is committed to fostering a more media-literate society. By providing engaging educational frameworks and hands-on learning experiences for students, teachers, and parents, the Museum helps the public critically understand and engage with the media landscape of the past, present, and future.
