It serves as a window to showcase the development history of China’s information and communications industry, a dedicated institution for the collection, preservation, exhibition and research of telecommunications cultural relics nationwide, and a cultural hub for the dissemination of telecommunications technology and popular science knowledge. It has been designated as a National Patriotic Education Base, National Science Education Base, Beijing Science Education Base, Patriotic Education Base for Central Enterprises, Postal and Telecommunications Culture Education Practice Base, Scientist Spirit Education Base, Beijing Off-campus Practice Education Base for Young Pioneers, and Beijing Red Tourism Site.
The Museum is situated at No. 42 Xueyuan Road, Haidian District, Beijing, adjacent to the Zhongguancun Science Park and covering an area of nearly 3,000 square meters.
On June 20, 2021, the Museum reopened and launched a permanent exhibition with the theme of “Red Inheritance and Telecommunications in More than a Century: A History of China’s Telecommunications Industry”. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the exhibition comprises six distinct units: “The Advent of Telecommunications”, “A Tough Start for Telecommunications in China”, “Contribution to the Revolution”, “Posts and Telecommunications Integration”, “Reform and Opening Up”, and “Applying Information Technology to Empower the Future”. Through a rich collection of cultural relics, historical archives, and detailed infographics, it systematically traces the development history of telecommunications in China. Leveraging 5G, cloud and VR technologies, it designs experiential scenarios to enable visitors to gain a profound understanding of the remarkable journey from the “half radio station” to the “Digital China” initiative, while vigorously promoting the red telecommunications spirit characterized by loyalty to the Party, unwavering belief, wholehearted service to the people, commitment to reform and innovation, reverence for science and technology, and dedication to security and connectivity. Carrying forward the “red bloodline” and inheriting the “red gene”, the Museum consistently enriches the era-specific connotations of the red telecommunications spirit.
