The new, long-term Postia ja bitsjä exhibition tells the story of a communicative Finn and Posti.
In the functional exhibition, a wide range of visitors can marvel at a familiar, everyday and essential thing for all of us, communication, its different ways, the dizzying technical development and the changes of recent decades.
The exhibition combines history, technology and emotions. Interactive and game-like content makes the exhibition unique.
The exhibition consists of thematic entities of communication: written communication, audio and visual communication and networks. Another central theme is Posti's role in Finnish society from the 17th century to the present day. How did Posti become a modern, versatile logistics operator from a paper-based communication intermediary? The exhibition links these stories to the development of Finnish society and the changing communication culture.
The Mail and Bits exhibition has been realized in cooperation between the Postal Museum and the Tampere Historical Museums and combines the extensive collections and expertise in the field of communication of both museums.
The exhibition is related to the themes of the Postal Museum's national museum mission: communication, mail and digital life.
