In 1912, Roberto Clemens Galletti set up in Champagneux one of the most powerful transmitting station of the world at the time. Unfortunately, History was to forget about Galletti's work because of the torment of the first World War… Clemens Galletti carried on his scientific studies. In this museum you will discover the history about the radio and the telephone through a collection of old radio sets, phones, posters and documents.
