This Friday, 24 April, we invite you to an evening of demonstrations prepared by the Museum of Lublin University of Technology.

The programme includes two themed presentations:

From the telephone to the smartphone – the history of telephony
A live demonstration of a manual telephone switchboard, with an introduction to how historical telephone networks operated and how people communicated before modern mobile technology.

Capturing the moment – the analogue photographic process
A presentation of how photographs were created in the pre-digital era – from taking the picture to producing the final print.

The demonstrations will take place on a rotating basis:

• 18:20–18:40 – telephone switchboard demonstration
• 18:50–19:20 – analogue photography
• 19:30–19:50 – telephone switchboard demonstration
• 20:00–20:20 – analogue photography

Participants will also be able to visit the stylised Retro Technology Lab located in the storeroom (room 306), where historical devices and media are presented in a hands-on, workshop-style setting.

The event is designed as an accessible introduction and an invitation to visit the Museum during the upcoming Night of Museums.
