To celebrate our Marconi collection and his development of wireless technology, the MHS basement gallery was turned into a telegraph office. Visitors of all ages became operators at the MHS Telegraph Company and sent Morse code messages across the -virtual- Atlantic and received certificates in “Advanced Telegraphy” after fulfilling their duties.
