Places of Science, Ballycastle Museum: Marconi's Moyle - radio waves across the sea
This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2023.
In the 19th century, in the race to establish the new science of radio communication, one name stood out, Guglielmo Marconi, whose system of transmitters and receivers revolutionised how messages are sent around the world. One landmark event took place in the little town of Ballycastle in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
Join Ballycastle Museum and W5 Belfast for hands on activities to learn about Marconi's fascinating discoveries, the history of long-distance communication, the science of radio waves, and about Ballycastle and Rathlin, two very special outposts in discovery.
