When you close the front door of the museum behind you and walk up the stairs, you feel like you've been transported back in time. Hits from the 1920s rattle out of various loudspeakers and gramophones in what is probably the most unique museum of its time. It is something very special, with over 1,100 devices to admire, each with a story that museum director Hans Necker tells with a lot of love and a bit of longing. The oldest radio, the radio that came from the most distant region, the most curious radio, the smallest radio... There's nothing that doesn't exist... And there are actually many more... 1,600 more radios are still in his possession, but there is no room for them in the museum. Hans Necker has been collecting radios since he was 6 years old, he got his first one in his school bag and he says mischievously that he wanted to get to the bottom of the technology, wanted to know where the music came from in the first place, why it could be exhibited... He proudly displays his first textbooks "Radio technology for boys", from which he acquired all his knowledge, in the remarkable radio literature collection, which is also on display in the museum.
The stories alone, which Mr. Neckar tells with passion and wistfulness, make every visit to the museum an unforgettable trip back in time.
