Pavek Museum of Broadcasting, Broadcasting museum in St. Louis Park, US
The Pavek Museum displays extensive collections of vintage radios, televisions, and broadcasting equipment spanning multiple decades of technological advancement in communications.
Joe Pavek began collecting radio equipment in 1946 while teaching at Dunwoody Institute, leading to the museum's establishment with Earl Bakken in 1988.
The museum maintains records of broadcasting evolution through exhibits of early radio programs, television shows, and recording devices that shaped American media.
Visitors can explore the museum through guided tours every Tuesday to Friday from morning until afternoon, with special arrangements available for group visits.
The collection includes John T. Mullin's AEG Magnetophon tape recorders from Germany, which introduced magnetic tape recording to American broadcasting.
