Victorian Telecommunications Museum

The Victorian Telecommunications Museum displays a collection of communication devices spanning from early telegraph systems to modern telephone networks.

Established through collaboration between Heritage Telstra committee and interstate volunteer groups, the museum evolved from the former Postmaster-General's Department collection.

The museum preserves the technical heritage of Australian telecommunications through exhibitions of equipment that connected communities across the continent.

The National Communications Museum, successor to the Victorian Telecommunications Museum, will reopen its doors to visitors in September 2024.

The museum features a restored mechanical speaking clock from the 1950s, which uses rotating glass discs and modified digital technology to maintain original functionality.
