Wow! When I say this is quite the museum for the communication/technology nerd. I mean it. All descriptions around the museum are available in English as well as German. In addition to the vast amount of artifacts on display from the age of stone tablets to the smart phone era, they have authentic real working machines that they are happy to demonstrate is you ask. For example, they have a mail sorting machine, a rotary/dial telephone exchange that you can actually witness the mechanics of for each number you dial, and even a simple hand crank phone system. Highly recommended you come here with a friend because many of the interactive exhibits, believe it or not, are meant to demonstrate communication between 2 or more parties! But that said I came alone and still had a ton of fun. Only thing I noticed missing was any details on pneumatic tube systems? A miss for the museum? or more likely I missed it in the incredible vastness of the exhibits?

A very interesting museum with great exhibitions about communication technology. There are plenty of interactive exhibits and all the sings are both in German and English. The museum has a cozy little café and a decent souvenir shop.

Museum with a mid to large floor plan devided unto several floors. It's interesting and interactive with good historical content which seeks to be engaging. Great place for the kids, although the wee ones under 5 or 4 might not appreciate the walking vs content available to them. Still a great place to spend a couple of hours with the kids or as an adult even longer if you are interested nd take the time to get into the content and it's presentation. A cafe although by no means a full restaurant, you should make plans for lunch before or after.

Heute waren wir mit unseren 12 jährigen Kindern im Museum für Kommunikation. Mein Sohn war schon mal mit der Grundschule da und war begeistert. Heute hat es ihm noch mehr Spass gemacht, da er von uns auch erfahren hat, welche Kommunikationsmittel wir früher genutzt haben und wie sich die Technik entwickelt hat. Interessant war, dass für die heutigen Kinder ein Telefon mit Wählscheibe zur echten Herausforderung werden kann. So darf man sich nicht verwählen, muss den Hörer vorher abnehmen und muss die Zahlen bis zum Anschlag drehen. Für uns eine Leichtigkeit. Erschreckend, dass die Änderung der Postleitzahl schon 30 Jahre her ist. Aber für uns auch interessant, dass wir eine Generation sind, die noch mit schwarz/weiss Fernseher ohne Fernbedienung aufgewachsen sind. Den Unterschied von Betamax, Video 2000 und VHS kennen. Und auch die Handy Entwicklung erlebt haben. Sprüche wie... Achtung geh nicht ins Internet, dass kostet zu viel. Oder geh mal aus dem Internet ich erwarte einen Anruf kennt die heutige Jugend nicht. Auch Fragen wie... wie habt ihr euch früher verabredet. Oder... musstest du immer beim Telefon stehen? Weil das Kabel so kurz war? Mussten wir uns anhören und haben diese gerne beantwortet. Auch die Ausstellung im 2. OG über Streit interessant. Was für ein Streittyp ist man und wie streitet man richtig und fair. Wir waren ca. 2 Std. Dort. Im Keller kann man seine Jacken und Rucksäcke einschließen. 20 Eur Eintritt für eine 4 köpfige Familie im Rahmen. Es gibt auch ein Café mit Snacks für eine Pause. Im Museum gibt es auch ein Fahrstuhl. Allerdings sind Parkplätze dort eher rar. Alles in allem ein toller Ausflug. Das sollten alle Kinder der jetzigen Generation mal gesehen haben. Wir empfehlen es gerne weiter!

So many and useful information given in a structured and interactive way. It is worthy to visit!

outside the building there is a horse sculpture painted in green and, everything on the horse ... the inside of the building is the same ... I did not regret that I went, but I did not stay for long. Rather, they show the development of communication technology ... the circulation arrangement inside the museum is very poor. The design of the imitation Rosetta stone is beautiful.

So much information. This was a fantastic museum. If there is a way or method to transmit a message, there is an example in that museum. Absolutely fantastic!

sehr gute Ausstellung mit vielen interaktiven Elementen. Da macht auch den kleinen Besuchern der Ausflug Spaß! 👍🏼

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the permanent exhibition at the Museumsuferfest 2017 was closed. There was only one exhibition on music, but it was great. (Original) Leider hatte die Dauerausstellung zum Museumsuferfest 2017 geschlossen. Es verblieb nur eine Ausstellung zum Thema Musik, die war aber toll gemacht.

One of the best museums around. We underestimated the place, thinking we can go through in an hour, but it turned out there are so many interesting exhibits that one can easily spend half a day here and not even notice. A lot of interactive items and a very pleasant staff, will definitely visit again. The temporary exhibitions we caught were absolutely stunning as well, overall a great experience!

A complete and highly lectured museum, with much more time than planned. The exhibits are informative but often with a playful twist that eases the desire to learn. Perfect and good for all ages.

What a wonderful experience! I must've spent about 5.5hrs here, predominantly in their main exhibition. 6 Euros entry, but they can't take foreign credit cards (?) so cash required. Audio guide is free to download and there is WiFi, but it misses a lot of the modules and all the information is in the German and English text. The vast majority of text has been translated, but not much of the audio displays. There is so much here on the postal service, radios, telegrams, telephones, TV, propaganda, music, cryptography. So so much, it was such an educational and interesting day out. I can't seem to add photos, but if I could have, there would have been one of the interactive switchboard display!

Good for all ages. Reminding old days for adults while having playful experiences for children. It will take 1.5 to 2.5 hours to see all the things.

The museum has exhibits on communication including mail, books, telegraph, telephone, radio, television and computer etc. The exhibits were really interesting. The management has tried hard to make the exhibits both informative and entertaining. You can sense the vibrancy. The first floor has a children's area which is a nice touch It was a festival weekend when I visited and the museum had face painting for young children in the courtyard. Later on they had dance music playing and there were teenagers and young adults (just ordinary people) performing choreographed dances in the courtyard. So the museum is trying hard to reach out to young people. It is a great place to visit.

Both permanent and temp exhibitions are cool. Learnt a lot from the permanent exhibition at -1. Staff are helpful and willing to demonstrate the displays. Strongly recommended to visit this if u only have time for one museum .

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum !!! (Original) Sehr schönes Museum!!!

Frankfurt’s Museum Row is one of the saving graces of this fairly blah small city. The location in Old Sachsenhausen is also a plus along the Main river.

Interactive museum, great for kids. Negative note: in the cafe you can pay by using only “German” cards or cash, unbelievable.

This is the best museum I have ever seen!!! It's so much fun.... you can try the old telephone ☎️ with friends !!! And you can see how communications developed in a fun way

one of the best museums in Germany!

A very nicely designed museum with a mix of fixed and changing exhibitions. We went with kids from 9-13 of age and they enjoyed the interactive installations. The staff was very engaging and kind. Would highly recommend this.

Trotz meiner Erwartungen fand meine Familie dieses Museum total interessant! Es gibt jede Menge Exponate dort, von ganz alt bis neu, dort kann man auch vieles selbst ausprobieren, anfassen, anhören und bestaunen - selbst für die Kinder war es dort nicht langweilig - das fand ich echt Klasse! Wir waren während der Museumsuferfest dort - zwei Tage lang - und an zweiten Tag wollten Kinder wieder dorthin! Vielen Dank dafür 👍😌

Sehr interessant! Besonders für Kinder. Es gibt viele alte Dinge, die man nur hier sehen kann. Wo kann man zum Beispiel das erste Telefon oder alte Briefkästen sehen und etwas über die Geschichte des DHL-Zustelldienstes erfahren? Es gibt auch einen großen Souvenirladen und ein schönes, gemütliches Café mit einer Terrasse.

Super interessantes Museum, wo für jeden etwas dabei ist. Sehr interaktiv gestaltet. Es gibt auch ein paar interaktive Spiele extra für Gruppen. Die Ausstellung beinhaltet auch sehr interessante Exponate, wie beispielsweise einen Apple Macintosh und einen alten Postbus. Das Museum ist definitiv weiter zu empfehlen. Haben etwa 1 1/2 Stunden gebraucht um alles anzuschauen.

Fascinating, thorough and highly educational museum where one can spend far more time than planned. The exhibits are informative but often with an entertaining twist that facilitate the desire to learn. Excellent, and good for all ages.

This is such and excellent museum!! It packs so much in but is fun and interactive. Great for all the family from young to not so young! Make it your first stop

We celebrated a birthday here (8 year old) and the girls had amazing fun. Totally recommended for a birthday party. The museum itself also has many interesting exhibits.

Not very big, but very interesting museum. Worth to visit ;)

a museum with historical communication devices and methods. brought back alot of memories. definitely worth a visit

Great fun for kids and adults. Playing with forgotten technology is so interesting, but there are also insights into future machines

They have some nice things there, definitely worth visiting if you are interested in the subject.

" Communication " including transportation, voice, mail, email, etc. Frankfurt communication museum described how to connecting world by arts, wonderful.

The history of communication! Brilliant! Lot's to try and learn

Interesting place with a lot of stuff to touch/interact with. In the end, we even had a chance to go to the roof and speak with a man who collects old radio-stuff, he told about lots of historical details. (And all of that in English!)

An absolutely fantastic collection of different communications technologies. The layout of the museum encourages you to wander around and explore different displays, with friendly and helpful staff nearby to assist with demonstrations. While not terribly large, it is still packed with exhibits in an open space which does not make it feel cluttered. Plus it has electric sheep. Maybe this is where androids go when they dream.

unfortunately, the exposition is pretty poor. it is just one floor, big enough, but without any guide how to go between these all things. it was quite unusual personally for me. and due to high level of noise, I can suppose, that children like this museum

A lot of interesting information about technology and communication. I liked old styles of phones , TV and radios.

Fun museum with a lot of interactive things to see and play with!

A very well designed, wholesome, and interesting museum. Communication’s history is superbly described and post historic vehicles are shown and very well maintained. Staff was so helpful sans kind. A must to go if you want to spend some time with your children or with partner or friends!

The Museum of Communication is not very big, but as with other German museums, the permanent exhibition covers all the basics and then more. Plus you have the temporary, thematic exhibitions. The museum is interesting, interactive, fun! Great for kids and grown ups as well. I can also recommend the museum café: they have great coffee and cakes (as well as lots of other delicacies).

Very interesting place, especially for the children between 6 to 12 - they can enjoy playing with old style mini phone station calling from one stationary phone to another one or even to the one in the phone boothe. There are cafe and the children play zone on the 2nd floor also. Variety of the "first" generation stationary phones, TV's, vinyl players and radio's, old type of the post delivery cars. Again, the only disadvantage - all labels and explanation board on German only. 😃

A nice experience visiting this place. Carefully curated and well preserved in a non chronological order. (The lady on floor who gave me the introduction of the exhibition told it is laid randomly in a non chronological order. I was initially confused, thinking why? This must be a perfect thing to lay in a chronological order, but after my full tour, it was beyond my understanding how this could have been done in a chronologically order) Most of the descriptive data sets both text and audio were presented in German and English both. I opened my Google lens app only 4 to 5 times for translating some specific text in an image only. It was very disturbing to know how tech was used in some period of the holocaust for record keeping, also were disturbing the telegrams and other records from the titanic. History of laying of undersea communication cables, getting to see the cross section of different cables was very intresting as well. The glossy polished well restored wooden tv sets and the working analogue telephone exchange were another highlight. the list might not end for a history person like me. Not at all overpriced. Some things like the mail sorter were under maintenance which would have been great to see in working. a few audio descriptions were non working as well. overall a good place to invest a minimum of 3.5 to 4 hours to increase your knowledge about the history of communication.

It'll take at least 1h in the museum, lots of informative things to see, listen, read and so on... Was fun to learn about the telephone things in the past.

Excellent musuem but bit behind times now

Friendly and patient staff! Insightful exhibitions and very interactive. The Museum has a cute, clean cafe where one can relax once they want to take a break. I love the fact that there are translations available too for some of the exhibits.

Pleasantly surprised. Was skeptical to pay hefty fee for a rather small museum. Went down and looked around the basement for 3 hours. This is how museums should be. Very interesting information with amusing interactions. Really worth it.

Interesting exhibit, also make sure to visit the changing upstairs exhibit. Unfortunately, they do not accept any cards other than EC card. This makes purchasing tickets more difficult; especially considering that EC will go away soon.

Oh wow I loved it, there are loads of museums that could take lessons for these guys in terms of design, layout and experience. It is spacious, educational, fun for kids and adults, staff are amazing and it's a good afternoon out. Remember though that Frankfurt is still a very cash based city so if you want anything from the shop you need cash. One other top tip is the 2 day museum pass it gets you access here and a range of other museums (it can be bought on site)

It's a fantastic museum! The museum has a special area for kids to explore the science of connection and communication.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting for young and old (Original) Sehr interessant für jung und alt

(Translated by Google) A very nice museum, not too big, fun. We learn about the operation of telephones and the internet. Many museums should be inspired by it. The museum staff were very friendly. Even though the museum is very good, I only recommend it to those who already know Frankfurt and want to discover other things. I think there are more extraordinary things to do in the area. (Original) Un musée très sympa, pas trop gros, ludique. On y apprend des choses sur le fonctionnement des téléphones, d'internet. Beaucoup de musée devraient s'en inspirer. L'équipe du musée était très sympathique. Même si le musée est très bien je ne le recommande qu'à ceux qui connaissent déjà Francfort et qui veulent découvrir autre choses. Je pense qu'il y a des chose plus extraordinaire à faire dans la région.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful museum, even if not everything is open at the moment. The exhibition about the moon landing is a trip back to childhood. And the café is a real highlight. (Original) Ein wunderbares Museum, auch wenn im Moment nicht alles offen steht. Die Ausstellung über die Mondlandung ist ein Ausflug in die Kindheit. Und das Café ist ein echtes Highlight.

(Translated by Google) Quite nice and quite interesting a "red thread" is missing. The associated cafe is also fine All in all, as an alternative in bad weather, definitely recommended. (Original) Ganz nett und durchaus interessant ein "Roter Faden" fehlt. Das dazugehörige Cafe auch in Ordnung Alles in allen als Alternative bei schlechten Wetter durchaus zu empfehlen.

(Translated by Google) Interesting exhibits, the changing exhibits were a bit long winded (Original) Interessante tentoonstellingen, de wisselende tentoonstellingen waren een beetje langdradig

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum with everything related to communication. Also very interesting for children, as there are many exhibits that can be tried out. Pointer telegraph Morse transmission Rotary telephone with an exchange Telephones with manual switching The amateur radio station on the roof is also very nice. Due to Corona, there are currently restrictions in the children's workshop. But that will get better at some point :) (Original) Sehr schönes Museum mit allem rund um die Kommunikation. Auch für Kinder sehr interessant, da an vielen Exponaten ausprobiert werden kann. Zeigertelegraf Morseübertragung Wählscheibentelefon mit Vermittlungsstelle Telefone mit Handvermittlung Auch sehr schön ist die Amateurfunkstation auf dem Dach. Corona bedingt gibt es im Moment Einschränkungen gerade in der Kinderwerkstatt. Aber das wird ja irgendwann auch wieder besser :)

(Translated by Google) Brilliant museum. As with almost all good musts, you should plan a lot of time. We didn't have enough of it today. But I hope we think about it next time. (Original) Geniales Museum. Man sollte, wie bei fast allen guten Mussen, viel Zeit einplanen. Wir hatten davon heute zu wenig. Aber ich hoffe wir denken beim nächsten Mal daran.

Top, top

(Translated by Google) Very interesting processing of the topics. Lots to read and unfortunately only one (albeit very large) main room. Plus point: a real sorting machine (Original) Sehr interessante Aufarbeitung der Themen. Viel zum lesen und leider nur ein (wenn auch sehr großer) Hauptsaal. Pluspunkt: Eine echte Sortiermaschine

(Translated by Google) Great, were there very often (before the lockdown) (Original) Super, waren da (vor dem Lockdown) sehr oft

Loved it. Interesting as can be to see the past, present and future of communications. Highly recommended. 😊

Great museum for kids. Kids can join classes and learn about film making, sound production and editing.

Such a lovely place! We celebrated my sons birthday here with his friends. Excellent staff. The activities they made the kids do were very interesting and informative. The museum in itself is awesome. Lots of information regarding the history of communications. I will visit again!

Unique museum on 3 floors tell's u a connected story about friendships through years of everyday technology communications. Great to visit!

amazing exhibition

Excelent museum with interesting exibition.

(Translated by Google) Should be kept in mind as a museum visitor. I have been to different exhibitions twice so far, both were exciting and recommended.

The permanent collection has a large set of interactive exhibits many of them were fun even to older youth. A nice place to hide from the rain.

(Translated by Google) What can I say, pure enthusiasm. I worked my way from top to bottom. It's a good thing, since it becomes very interesting downstairs for people who are enthusiastic about technology, models, etc. I was there from 1 p.m. and regretted it, I missed at least 2 hours. The lower area is extremely interesting. The bistro with coffee and cake is also recommended. A nice museum that I can only recommend. Take your time it's worth it. (Original) Was soll ich sagen, Begeisterung pur. Ich habe mich von oben nach unten gearbeitet. Gut so, da es nach unten sehr Interessant wird, für Menschen die sich für Technik, Modelle usw. begeistern. Ich war ab 13:00 Uhr da und habe es bereut, mir fehlten mindesten 2 Std. der untere Bereich ist extrem Interessant. Das Bistro mit Kaffee und Kuchen ist auch zu empfehlen. Ein schönes Museum das ich nur empfehlen kann. Nehmt euch Zeit es lohnt sich.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting and super informative museum, in which the history of various means of communication and technology is presented. Aspects of recent events such as Development of the phone or the radio are nicely edited. With "join in" / "action" stations, the exhibition is also very suitable for children. Definitely worth a visit! (Original) Sehr interessantes und super informatives Museum, in welchem die Geschichte verschiedenener Kommunikationsmittel und -technik dargestellt ist. Gerade Aspekte des jüngeren Zeitgeschehen wie z.B. Entwicklung des Telefons oder des Radios sind schön aufbereitet. Durch "Mitmach"/ "Aktions"-Stationen ist die Ausstellung auch sehr gut für Kinder geeignet. Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!

(Translated by Google) Pleasantly presented exhibition with learning effect. (Original) Angenehm locker präsentierte Ausstellung mit Lerneffekt.

the most interesting museum that i've ever been to, i was here 2 hours but i didnt even see entirely the floor, definitely gonna come here soon and finish my visit
