Curatorial context
The exhibition 'Media of Our Times – History of Radio and Television' offers a journey into the past, recreating commercial and residential interiors from the 1930s, 1950s, 1970s, and 1990s. Visitors can observe the innovations that filled store shelves and the evolving role of radio and television in homes over nearly a century. The exhibition details the changing design of consumer electronics in radio and teletechnology. It also highlights the legendary transmitters of Radio 'Solidarność' and their crucial role in sustaining the spirit of social protest between 1981 and 1989, which paved the way for a truly democratic modern Poland. The theoretical and experimental foundations for radio and television were laid by figures like James Clerk Maxwell, Heinrich Hertz, and Nikola Tesla in the late 19th century, leading to unprecedented discoveries and inventions that revolutionized human communication by enabling instant transmission over vast distances. This new method fulfilled a fundamental social need for exchanging thoughts, sensations, and emotions, profoundly influencing culture and civilization, a relevance that continues into the present day.
