Favourite Technologies of the 1950s

The Fifties in Germany were a colorful time of kidney-shaped tables, petticoats and cocktail chairs – witnessing the arrival of technology in private home: with fully automatic washing machines and hairdryers, toasters and refrigerators, recorder players and television sets.

The exhibits cover a host of topics and spheres of life and provide a journey of discovery through our special fields. We invite you to travel back in time with us to the good old tube radio, to shiny juke boxes, classic cars, and nostalgic advertising.
