An Artistic Experience for the Ears: Broadcasting History in Twilight
The flashlight tour at the Broadcasting Museum in Fürth takes place on May 9, 2026, in a depot where historical broadcasting devices become tangible not only as objects but as carriers of memories. In the dim light, a special exhibition atmosphere is created: sounds, voices, and noises open up a space for perception, imagination, and personal images in the mind. The event is part of Fürth Celebrates Diversity and is free of charge.

When the Light Disappears, Hearing Begins
The title Seeing with the Ears accurately describes the artistic essence of this tour. Following the beam of the flashlight, participants do not experience a classic museum display but a concentrated examination of audio media, technology, and materiality. The depot becomes a resonance space where a hundred years of broadcasting history emerges acoustically and sensually.

Depot Instead of Showcase: Proximity to the Collection
The Broadcasting Museum in Fürth preserves around 10,000 objects from the history of radio, television, and electronic playback devices in its decentralized depots. This depth of collection makes the museum a place of cultural education with high informative value. The tour combines museum education with aesthetic experience and focuses on those items that often remain hidden in a conventional exhibition.

A Museum in Transition, a Topic for the Future
The Broadcasting Museum is currently evolving into a modern educational and experience venue. According to the museum, the future exhibition aims to connect the cultural and social history of audio media more strongly with interactive and participatory formats; particularly children and youth will be engaged through experiments and workshops in STEM areas. The tour on May 9, 2026, also stands for a contemporary curation that thinks together technology history, memory culture, and mediation. ([rundfunk-museum.de](https://rundfunk-museum.de/))
