National Electronics Museum

The National Electronics Museum is a technology museum in Linthicum featuring electronic devices, defense equipment, and communication systems organized in several galleries. The collections span from radar systems to military and commercial electronics, showing how these technologies developed over decades.

The museum was founded in 1980 by Westinghouse employees who gathered radar systems as its initial collection. Over time it expanded to include diverse electronics from military and commercial industries.

The museum shows how electronics became part of everyday life, revealing how devices changed the way people communicate and work. You can trace how technology shaped different aspects of society through the objects on display.

The site is conveniently located near the Gilroy Road light rail station for easy access by public transportation. Inside you will find a research library, conference rooms, and spaces that work well for group visits or special events.

An active amateur radio station broadcasts weekly from the museum, blending vintage and modern equipment for educational purposes. This operating station brings the past and present together in a working demonstration.
