Originally had gone to take a look around but didn't realise there was a team of volunteers there to help guide us around and answer all our questions. It was a very valuable experience and it was great to see how technology progressed over the years. I would highly recommend visiting.

Fantastic museum, plenty of items on display. Gold coin donation, easy off street parking. Volunteers are ex PMG, telecom, Telstra workers and very passionate and knowledgeable. Great working equipment you can play with. Highly recommend a visit. Open Wednesday's only

Only is open on Wednesdays from 9-3pm. Lovely tour guides with plenty of experience and knowledge to share! Worth popping in if you're looking for a free activity to do and interested in Brisbane/Australian history.

Really interesting history of telephones and transmission equipment.

The museum houses the best and most comprehensive display of communications equipment and its history in Qld. This encompasses everything from Telegraph ( Morse ) gear to recently redundant telephony equipment. Staffed by a knowledgeable group of volunteers who have access to a mine of information.

What a change we have seen in Australia.

Really enjoyed this place, staff where great and gave awesome tour, love seeing all the old phones, the guides knew what they where talking about as they had actually worked with the majority of the old equipment. Gold coin dontaion to get in. Well worth it.

Excellent display of historical telecommunications equipment with passionate volunteers who go out of their way to make your experience well worth the trip. Please remember to donate some gold coins as you leave.

Amazing museum detailing the history of telecommunications.

While initially reluctant to go, the Telstra Museum turned out to be a real eye-opening educational experience for my wife and I. Who knew that decades ago Telstra actually provided genuine customer service to their customer base? For those of us who have grown up in the Filipino Call-centre Labyrinth era, this was truly an insightful revelation.

If you want to see how everything works using the old landline, then this place is it. They have put in so much effort. Job well done.

The new CDMA Base station rack to the left of the Analogue Base station rack just installed in the Museum CDMA was installed in 1999 and shut down in 2008. The frequency of 850 Mhz was then used for 3G

Peter and James did an excellent job of showing us around the museum, and explaining the world of wonderful technologies inside.

Anthony gave my friend and I a great tour. He was very knowledgeable and demonstrated many of the phones, devices and machines for us. The experience was very interactive and interesting. We had no idea what to expect walking in but it was worth the visit!

Well the last time I visited the museum it was crammed into a shed at the back of Albion Exch.. As a 41 yr PMG, Telecom, Telstra techo 1956 to 1997, I am so amazed at the transformation I must visit again.

Great collection of devices large and small, good to see they are kept in good condition for the future. Somewhere for current generation to learn how to use a rotary dial phone!!

Great museum and interesting tour by John Rostron.

Fun for family, historically technologically informative. Very knowledgeable volunteers.

Decided to take a day off work and visit, Such a great bunch of people the volunteers are amazing and some very good displays Will be suggesting my tech mates visit also

The Telstra Museum contains an amazing amount of historical telecommunications equipment. From telegraphs to pagers, Morse code to facsimile, there's an amazing amount of history in this place. The volunteers offering tours are knowledgeable and passionate about this often-overlooked part of history that is now commonplace. This is definitely a recommended stop on any museum map!

We had a fantastic time today! Lyndley our guide was fantastic and knowledgeable and we really appreciate the time you spent with us and allowing my boy to test out the phones and equipment. Thank you to Anthony too for Nate’s special message and paper. A lovely day with lovely volunteers. Have a great Christmas!

A great look back into telecommunications history in Brisbane and Australia. Took me back to my days as an apprentice. Lots of Retro gadgets.

Hidden gem! Lots of working exhibits and an entertaining walkthrough by a knowledgeable guide. A great insight into the history of communications in Australia over the last 150 years. 100% recommend for everyone.

Lyndley was a star guide! My friends and I had a great time learning all about telephones, the older ones from the 1800s were definitely our favourite! Super cool and can’t wait to come back with my other friends!

Fantastic visit. The volunteers have a ton of knowledge. Learnt everything from the start of the telegram and Morse code. Fantastic experience, highly recommend.

Very cool if you're into the history of telecommunications

Telstra

Knowledgeable volunteer

Great place of history.

Really interesting and great commentary, thank you!

Extremely interesting

Very well informed guided tour with plenty of items in the collection. Well worth a visit for the history of telecommunications.

Last Wednesday 30/10/19 the Probus Club of Coorparoo went for a tour of the Telstra Museum, believe me, this is well worth the 2 hour tour. We started off with a 40 minute video lecture, which at times was quite funny, looking back and going through the ages of Telecommunication. This is a working Museum and there are telephones from 1878, Morse Code Demonstrations, Switchboards ( working units) Teleprinters and Telex machines. Don had organised our tour, and all the other men who are volunteers do a wonderful job and they enjoy their hobby which makes it so interesting. Thank you for an interesting afternoon, our Members really enjoyed your tour.

Bigger than I expected. People were really helpful despite the fact that we nearly came at closure. Only open on Wednesdays though.

Excellent place to see the evolution of communications in Australia.

I wish it was open more often. Awesome place.

Amazing, cant say anymore needs to be on the bucket list! Wow

Interesting place especially as I worked for PMG,Telecom, Telstra for 37 years. Donated some items for their display.

Good place to visit if your into this kind of thing

Really informative and interesting.
