Tech through time: exploring communication of the past

This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2025.

Join Rugby Art Gallery and Museum for an engaging hands-on activity exploring the fascinating evolution of communication technologies. From the tap of a telegraph to the dial of a rotary phone, young explorers will handle authentic artifacts and delve into the stories behind these revolutionary inventions.

Rugby Art Gallery and Museum has been funded through the Places of Science grant scheme.
