Postal Museum

As part of the PACCE program, others and I visited the Hungarian Postal Museum. Though the name shares very little inclination towards and relation to science and technology, the quaint exhibit hosted a variety of developments used to enhance Hungary’s postal service. Amongst such advancements were specially made delivery vehicles and telecommunications devices. The out-of-the-way location of this museum made it an incredibly personal experience when the entire exhibit was essentially private for our small group. That, in addition to the interactive devices such as a telephone switchboard and what was basically an early instant messaging device using typewriters, made the experience all the more enjoyable and entertaining to learn about the scientific creations which fostered communication in earlier days.
