Contact When the Tallinn TV Tower was completed in 1980, it was quite literally essential for bringing news and broadcasts to the televisions and radios in our homes.
The exhibition “From the Tower to Your Pocket” takes visitors on a journey through the history of mobile phones to the present day, where the device we use for news, entertainment and communication is in everyone’s pocket – the smartphone.
What can you see at the exhibition?
The exhibition features a variety of historic mobile phones, from the first large radio telephones to small button phones and early smartphones. Also on display is an old coin-operated rotary phone, which could be found in phone booths on the streets 40 years ago for anyone who needed to make a call. Visitors can also see its successor, the card payphone, which made it possible to call from the street by inserting a phone card into the machine. The beautifully designed phone cards are also part of the exhibition.
