Reviews
Very interesting place, as a Telecom Engineer, this was a place that I couldn't skip in my visit to Lisbon. The permanent exhibition was great, it had many real life equipment from all ages of telecommunications technology.
In my case, the temporal exhibition was about submarine communication cables, a quite interesting topic.
It had both Portuguese and English explanations in all the exhibitions.
PD: It's a bit hidden between all the buildings around.
There is a really nice cafe here with excellent food for a very good price. (The pumpkin soup was delicious!) Very friendly staff. Free wifi. Recommended.
Nice 👌
The venue doubles as a telecommunications museum and offers a truly inspiring visit from the foundations of communications, all the way to 5G.
There you'll see early days' postal services, underwater cabling projects, a working 'strowger' telephone switch, and a high-tech intelligent home.
This is a really cool museum, but rather unorganized, with only the basic idea of "communication" tying the exhibits together. There were two free temporary exhibits: The first had a series of phrases and artworks on the wall, including a number of aphorisms about communication, personal relationships, and our relationship with technology. The second was largely about the fiber optic wires on the seafloor piecing the internet together across the world. Upstairs, for a two-euro student ticket, you can see the history of Portuguese communication, including lengthy sections on telephone communication and the national postal service. Moreover, there's one room that's just a bunch of wax figures. They had some pamphlets to explain what was going on, but they were all in Portuguese. Otherwise, it's just a lot of fun to walk through!
