    (Translated by Google) A cultural space of great beauty that you will notice from the moment you enter and walk through the permanent exhibition. You can take the tour in the company of a friend, family or to spend some time alone. You have the option of going with a guide or the free tour. Look at its panels and all the details that are of great value. (Original) Un espacio cultural de gran belleza que notarás desde que entras y recorres la exposición que es fija. Puedes hacer el recorrido en compañía de alguna amistad, familia o para pasar un tiempo a solas. Tiene opción de ir con una persona guía o el recorrido libre. Fíjate en sus plafones y todos los detalles que son d e gran valor.

    Small museum. Might be interesting for those who are really interested in communication, but almost everything is written only in Spanish, which might make it difficult for those who do not speak the language...

    (Translated by Google) A little hidden place. You can enter through the right side of the MUNAL or, at the end of your visit to the MUNAL, a few steps ahead of the store there is another access. I entered for free on Sunday, there are quite a few things to see and learn about the telegraph. And as a plus, the architecture of the place is charming. Another plus, there is a small function room. The day I went a mariachi group was playing. They did it excellent! (Original) Un lugar un poco escondido. Se puede ingresar por el costado derecho del MUNAL o bien, terminando tu visita al MUNAL, unos pasos más adelante de la tienda hay otro acceso. Entré gratis en domingo, hay bastantes cositas que ver y aprender sobre el telégrafo. Y como plus, la arquitectura del lugar es encantadora. Otro plus, hay una pequeña sala de eventos. El día que yo fui estuvo tocando un grupo de mariachis. Lo hacían excelente!

    Small museum. Free entry. Excellent for anyone interested in the history of telecommunications. Everything is in Spanish but not that difficult for an educated English speaker to read

    (Translated by Google) This museum is inside a beautiful building, its type of architecture, its murals on the ceiling, transports you to another era, the police at the entrance very attentive and with security measures, the museum is free and they close at 5:00 p.m. p.m. The objects on display are very interesting. It briefly explains the history of the telegraph. I recommend it 👍 (Original) Este museo está dentro de un hermoso edificio su tipo de arquitectura, sus murales en el techo, te transporta a otra época, el policía a la entrada muy atento y con las medidas de seguridad, el museo es gratuito y cierran a las 17:00 pm.

Excellent 🌟👌🥳 (Original) Vayan de ipso facto a este espléndido museo, su portero, la guía que me correspondió llamada Miriam Arreola y todo el personal, quedo realmente fascinada, es un corto recorrido, pero en ese breve espacio explican la historia del telégrafo en México con aspectos y datos históricos muy buenos, por ahí se van a encontrar en la historia con el personaje Zimmerman, quedé muy encantada y además es una joya, el techo me enloqueció, sus columnas y los colores.

    Some relics from early technologies. You might like them, even if you don't you have the MUNAL right next door.

    Small but interesting museum telling the story of communication, and telegraph in particular, in Mexico. A few original devices on display, including some large transmitters and amplifiers not commonly seen around.

  • 4/5 Omar M. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is free, it is a very small museum in fact, but if you are willing to read and enjoy the museum, you will get a very nice experience on the subject it talks about, which is not at all minor and how was that used for the ue today we have as foundations at present, since if I would like it to be a little more interactive and that there was someone who will explain. (Original) Es gratis es un museo muy pequeño de echo pero que si estás dispuesto a leer y disfrutar del museo te llevaras una muy bonita experiencia sobre el tema sobre los que habla que no es para nada menor y como es que se usó eso para los ue hoy tenemos como cimientos en la actualidad, ya que si me gustaría que fuera un poco mas interactivo y que hubiera alguien que explicará.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful and interesting museum that chronologically presents the creation of the telegraph in the world and of course in Mexico. The exhibition shows numerous devices used over the years to achieve this type of communication. It is worth noting the beautiful building that houses the museum as it is an annex to the MUNAL. Admission is free, I highly recommend it! (Original) Bello e interesante museo que presenta cronológicamente la creación del telégrafo en el mundo y por supuesto en México. La exposición muestra numerosos aparatos utilizados a lo largo de los años para lograr este tipo de comunicación. Cabe destacar el hermoso edificio que alberga dicho museo al ser un anexo del MUNAL. La entrada es gratuita, recomiendo ampliamente!
