Interaktive Stationen laden Kinder wie Erwachsene ein, selbst aktiv Kommunikation zu gestalten, sei es in der Schreibwerkstatt, an der Rohrpost oder beim Architektenspiel.

Entertainment and cultural venues fill up at weekends, on public holidays and during school holidays, so check opening times and book tickets ahead where possible. Most museums close on Mondays, many state theatres and opera houses pause over the summer, and the Kulturpass gives 18-year-olds a budget to spend on culture. Ask about age limits and whether photography is allowed.

Opening hours are published for 5 days a week. The most common schedule is 9 am–5 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday, Tuesday. Hours in Germany do change around public holidays, and many businesses close for a day or two over Christmas and Easter, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is 0911 230880. Calling ahead is the norm in Germany for reservations and for confirming that a small business is open that day; e-mail or WhatsApp is the common alternative if you would rather write than speak. More information is available on its website, mfk-nuernberg.de.

Customers rate it 4.6 out of 5 on Google across 450 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded museen & galerien in Nürnberg.

Nürnberg is in Bayern, in the south, the country's industrial powerhouse around Munich and Stuttgart with the Alps and the Black Forest on the doorstep; winters bring snow and the occasional warm Föhn wind, summers are the warmest in Germany, and living costs are the highest. German addresses put the street name before the house number, followed by the five-digit postcode and the town, as in "Marienplatz 8, 80331 München". The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

The Museum of Communication is included with the Railway Museum ticket, so there is no need to buy an additional ticket. It’s a nice bonus and definitely worth visiting while you're there. I found several interactive activities quite interesting. One of my favorites was trying the traditional stamps and creating my name using different alphabets and communication systems. It was a fun hands-on experience rather than just looking at exhibits. The museum takes you through the history of communication, from early postal services and telegraphs to telephones and the modern internet era. The exhibits are well presented and easy to follow, making it interesting for both adults and children. There are plenty of interactive displays throughout the museum, which help bring the history of communication to life. I ended up spending more time there than I originally expected.

First time to see such museum, but it was a big hit! Combined ticket and hosted in same building as Rail museum History of communication from writing to modern technology with hands on displays & interactive things for kids

Placed in the same building with DB museum. It's an interesting museum where you can see a lot of communication devices, from different period of time. Many of them are still working and you can test them, including some very big analog telephone switchboards, with scores of relays.

it is located on the second floor of the DB museum building. a form of multiple stages from different forms of communication ways and tools with so much to learn and see very educating. you can write your Name in the old Hyrogliphic alphabet. same ticket from the main Db museum.

Fascinating museum operated by Deutsche Bahn, Deutsche Post, and Deutsche Telekom. At the DB Museum you can see a reproduction of the original Adler locomotive from 1835, which operated on Germany's first train line from Nuremberg to Fürth, the court train carriages of Bavarian King Ludwig II, and Bismarck's personal carriage. Impressive galleries on the history of the railways in Germany, not omitting the dark chapters such as the Third Reich. Great collection of model trains. But there is so much more to see that you could easily spend a day here. You effectively get two museums for the price of one, the Museum of Communication and the DB Museum.
