Phono- und Radiomuseum, Broadcasting museum in Dormagen, Germany

The Phono- und Radiomuseum displays a collection of 400 phonographs, gramophones, record players, and 4000 radios across 500 square meters of exhibition space.

The museum opened its doors on June 20, 2010, combining two collections: Volkmar Hess's phonograph assemblage and Helmut Dietsch's radio and television equipment archive.

The establishment preserves Chris Howland's 1986 single-person recording studio, donated to maintain the legacy of German broadcasting technology development.

Located at Bahnhofstraße 2-4, the museum opens every Sunday from 14:00 to 17:30, offering free admission and specialized guided tours upon request.

The museum houses 30,000 shellac records and includes the first television set manufactured for the Soviet Union after World War II.
