Telefonica museo

We went to the Museo Telefonica which is located inside the beautiful national Telefonica building in Madrid.

The entrance which was free is at the side of the main building. We went into a lobby area which had a small model of the Telefonica building on display.

We took an elevator up to the top floor and explored the exhibit which was a history of the phone company in Spain.

There were exhibits of different pieces of equipment that was actually used in Spain.

The telegraph decoder was used in Spain beginning in 1875 and was in use until 1950. The importance of the telegraph decoder was its ability to instantly decode into printable and readable text messages from morse code. This particular telegraph decoder was used to send news of the movement of Spanish soldiers during war.

After exploring the history of the telephone in Spain we went to the third floor to check out the digital exhibit. This exhibit was truly unique and very enjoyable. It is divided into three different parts. The first section called “Black Waves: Lost, Immersed, and Reborn” which is the largest part of the exhibit. When we entered the exhibit it was truly spectacular. There were large digital waves throughout several different large rooms.

We walked through the rooms and were immersed into the 3D digital art.

The telefonica museum was an interesting spot and the 3D digital exhibit was very enjoyable.
