This Year’s Exhibition is called  ‘Great Scots who Changed the World’

It will be open from 9th May to 30th September  (11 am - 4 pm) onWednesdays and Saturdays.

This latest 'hands-on' exhibition, features Scottish inventors and innovators in the field of communications, science and technology whose works and ideas have literally changed the world!

High-profiled Great Scots, such as Bell, Baird, Maxwell, Kelvin and Watson-Watt all feature..... but just how much do you know about David Brewster, Lord George Murray,  James Bowman Lindsay and Alexander Bain - to name but a few ?? Their contributions were also enormous.  Come and visit us and find out more!

This  exhibition is something that everyone can relate to - irrespective of age or scientific background, as it includes familiar everyday applications..

The Museum of Communication specialises in communications technology from the pre-electric telegraph to the present time. We have a major collection of artefacts covering Early Electrics, Telegraphy, Telephony, Radio, Television and Information Technology, together with a large number of supporting Printed Items. We put on exhibitions  to stimulate, entertain and educate the public. We are developing an education programme which is aimed at making young people aware of the  excitement and satisfaction to be found in a career in electronic communications.
