The Museum für Kommunikation Nürnberg (Museum of Communication) is a museum in Nuremberg dedicated to communication and its development in society. Founded in 1902, it is one of the oldest museums in the city together with the museum of the German railways, with which it shares the museum. The museum's collection questions human communication in the course of an individual's life and the new communication that emerges today through the use of the Internet. In fact, people communicate with sounds, images and signs: they speak and listen, show and see, write and read. Furthermore, thanks to digitization, it is now possible for the first time to convert all types of messages into a uniform code and display them using a single medium, the Internet. In the m useum für Kommunikation Nürnberg this theme is presented and explored in four exhibition halls. A first room is dedicated to sounds: in a room where the semicircular walls recall sound waves and where the soft light allows you to focus exclusively on the sense of hearing, multimedia installations allow visitors to experience how to learn to speak or how to speak. uses language to shape our individual and social relationships; a second room is dedicated to communication through images: with the help of videos, visitors learn how we communicate, often unconsciously, through facial expressions and gestures or what role fashion plays in our image.
