Amazing experience. Nick was very helpful introducing us to many different technologies. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. At the beggining there was a very nice gentleman who could understand you saying your name in Morse code! Great range of telecommunications equipment, with very old ones and some still working! All staff very welcoming. I am definitely coming back. I live in the region and never had the chance to go there. Maybe they could improve the opening hours and street signage to attract more people into this precious and important museum.

Great place to see where telecommunications all started... From Morse code onwards... Some amazing old tech and new stuff as well. See the exchanges actually working and understand why calls were charged by the minute... Really worth a visit.

Interesting museum. Full of well thought out displays of vintage telephone and telegraph equipment. Excellent group of volunteers working here.

Great experience. Amazing loved it would recomend. Well run.

Went through here under the guidance of Richard today. What an amazing place. Seeing so the old gear and old exchange equipment working is quite amazing. The guys can handle school and Scout groups in the evening. Well worth the time. Thanks Richard. Visited again today and even better. New displays look great.

We loved this place. Really worth a visit. The staff here is so nice and passionate. You will have the opportunity to try some old equipment still maintained in perfect working condition. Amazing for anyone interested or involved in technology.

Great experience for those interested in anything telecommunications, exchange & electronics. Lots of interactive displays and dedicated volunteers. Easy to wander in on the last Wednesday of the month and spend a few hours. The talking clock is a mesmerizing piece of machinery to see working!

Surprisingly great night had here with 1st Greythorn cubs. Thanks to the museum team for showing us all there stuff and sharing their knowledge with us!

Great place for young and old.

This was a long pending visit and I'm glad I finally got a chance to do it. The technology in there was amazing and still in working condition. The volunteer team team there are very knowledgeable and happy to talk about their experiences. A must visit for everyone, of all age groups.

Great look at the history of telecommunications in Australia, from Morse code to fibre optics. Lots of working gear, run by some very knowledgeable volunteers.

Pretty cool

Interesting collection of old technology. It's fun to use a rotary dial phone again!

Outstanding collection and knowledgeable volunteers. Very worth seeing if you happen to get a chance!

Lots of things to see and tales to regal. Particularly for those with an electrical or mechanical interest, this is a must see. Thanks very much Richard

Great experience ran by enthusiastic volunteers

Educational

A great collection of past PMG, Telecom and Telstra technology including echange equipment, customer fixed and mobile handsets, Telex equipment and the legendary mechanical speaking clock. Most of the exchange equipment is functional including SxS and ARE11 Xbar exchanges. Worth the visit.

Amazing display ran by volunteers doing a great work

Awesome Tour Guides! Extremely knowledgeable and helpful, very happy I experienced this place :)

Fascinating exhibits, I've never seen anything like it.

Excellent display both static and dynamic. Many old phones and other telecommunications equipment and several fully working examples of telephone exchanges. Including one of the first "Talking Clocks" to be installed in Australia. Knowledgeable volunteers to take you through the displays and answer questions.

It's a great museum that the whole family would adore. The tour guides have an unlimited wealth of knowledge on the subject matter

Awesome place for a history lesson!

Awesome place to visit. Very interesting to hear about and see Victoria's telecommunications history.

Great place to visit and experience Australia's past Telecommunications heritage and developments over the years.

Great experience. Very knowledgeable good exhibits

Great place and people.

Good place

Small, interesting if your into the history of telecommunications in Australia. Very knowledgeable volunteers.

Great museum, lots of well displayed exhibits and very hands on! Telephones operate on the local exchange and call other phones in the museum. Can watch the relays route the calls

Love it

Wonderful to see the evolution of the telephone locally.

With the smorgasbord of amazing smartphones available today, it's easy to take communication for granted. How did we get to where we are today? The evolution and history of telecommunications is really a fascinating story and you can actually see it all on display at the VTM. This is not just a bunch of passive exhibits because there's lots of working vintage equipment there, all maintained by volunteers. With education for the young and nostalgia for the not-so-young, this little museum really is one of Melbourne's hidden treasures. Entry is free but it's not open every day so you'll need to check the Telstra Museum website to find out when you can visit.

If your interested in the evolution of the phone network this place is great . Lots of photos and working equipment from exchanges , products and history.

Great museum, well worth visiting
