| Description | THE NATIONAL CAPITAL RADIO & TELEVISION MUSEUM in Bowie is located in a 1906 storekeeper’s house, the National Capital Radio and Television Museum explores broadcast history from the earliest days of wireless telegraph to the development of television. Wikipedia: Gallery 1: Wireless Beginnings: Focus on invention of "wireless telegraphy" (or simply wireless) to describe sending Morse Code. Gallery 2: Birth of Broadcasting: From the first limited scheduled radio broadcasts (often listened to with home built crystal radios) through to a few years later when radio had become a country-wide phenomenon. Gallery 3: Radio Comes of Age: Radio becomes a fixture in many American households and the Federal Communication Commission is formed to regulate radio stations. Gallery 4: Radio’s Golden Age: With improving technology, radios became less expensive and smaller. Radio also became a main source of family entertainment. Gallery 5: Post-War Radio: With radio still going strong, television introduced a new visual medium. Gallery 6: Rise of Television: Twenty years of TV design innovation, including different signal reception/ display ideas Gallery 7: How it all Works: Sound effects used for early radio brought to life. Special collections The Museum has a number of special collections, such as a collection of early ham equipment, World War I equipment, radio station studio equipment, it’s now on display. From time to time such equipment will be featured in special temporary exhibits. The Museum also has an extensive library but much of it is also stored offsite.
