Virtual tour of OTE Group’s Telecommunications Museum with just a ‘click’
- The exhibits from the permanent exhibition 'come to life' on the Museum's website
- OTE Group Telecommunications Museum: "Guardian" to the history of telecommunications in Greece
From phryctoriae to satellite and mobile telecommunications, the exhibits of the OTE Group Telecommunications Museum 'come to life' digitally with just a 'click'. The new Virtual Tour, available on the Museum's website, enables the digital browse into the Museum's permanent exhibitions, from anywhere in the country.
Through the Virtual Tour, digital visitors can browse the Museum's rooms virtually and learn about the exhibits through informational texts, explanatory videos, sound clips and creative activities. The virtual tour has four sections: the main collection, with exhibits on the history of telecommunications, call centers, with images and videos of female telephone operators in Greece in the 1960s, the development of mobile telephony, and the country's first TV studio, where the first live TV broadcast in Greece was made in 1966. Each section opens with an introductory video, with the actor Pygmalionas Dadakaridis.
The rich content of the Virtual Tour is an ideal digital learning tool, as it can be used by teachers and schools to convey information and knowledge during classes. Today, the Virtual Tour features some 100 multimedia objects - and we're constantly adding new ones so that digital visitors can discover them.
"The OTE Group Telecommunications Museum is a modern and constantly evolving museum. We created the Virtual Tour to enable more people to visit the Museum from anywhere in the country and to browse it virtually as if they were actually in the museum. Technology plays a leading role in the digital era, and at OTE Group we try to maximize its benefits in every aspect of our operations," the OTE Group's Executive Director Corporate Communications & Sustainability, Ms. Deppy Tzimea stated.
The OTE Group Telecommunications Museum is home to the telecommunications history of Greece and endeavours to share this history as part of Greece's cultural heritage. Today, the Museum's collections include over 4,000 artefacts and 33,000 documents, including maps, photographs and rare audiovisual material. At the same time, the Museum regularly carries out programmes and actions for schools and individual visitors at its facilities and online, providing special experiences for everyone who wants participate.
