Feriat Akın Radio and Communication Museum
The “Ferit Akalın Radio and Communication Museum” - The ventures of an old inventor from Çankırı, named Ferit Akalın, who was highly curious about radio technology, from installing the first television antennas in Çankırı to remote controlling a vehicle in a stadium through radio frequency , are all cherished in this museum. Over the years, the museum collection grew through the acquisition of further printed and oral sources, in addition to his donation. Oral history records, documentary filming, and national archive surveys performed during the foundation of the museum contribute greatly to the maintenance of the museum collection and archive.
The main purpose of the museum is to convey the historical development of communication tools through human stories. The museum has preferred those archives, stories, and documents that focus on the subject of communication by highlighting the region of Çankırı. On the other hand, the museum discusses the universal development and motifs of communication as well as its connections with the world and Turkey, through supplementary information.
The museum is the meeting point, where the topic of communication connects the visitors with living and breathing interactive applications. Thus the museum, which has communication as its collection and subject, focused its agenda intensively on the development of interactive applications.
In the museum, the visitors can broadcast radio, write letters, send postcards, and experience many more interactive communication media.
