Museum of Television and Radio
American museum that chronicles the evolution of radio and television.
There are three criteria for adding a program to the museum's
collection: excellence, historical significance, and social impact.
A nonprofit museum founded by William S. Paley to collect and preserve
television and radio programs and to make them available to the
public.
Daily Screenings and Radio Presentations From noon until closing time,
the Museum presents a wide variety of programs from the collection
in two screening rooms and two main theaters.
There are regular schedules for exhibitions and screening series that
have been organized by the Curatorial Department. Programming from
current series and exhibitions is shown throughout the day, and the
schedule will tell you what's ahead in the coming months
Throughout the year, performers, critics, writers, directors,
producers, and journalists come to the Museum to discuss topics
ranging from the collaborative process behind programming to
significant events in the media industry. The seminars include
television and radio clips from the Museum's collection, and time
for the audience members to ask questions.
The Museum's Education Department uses the collection in partnership
with schools and other educational institutions to explore important
themes and issues that have shaped contemporary history, as well as
to develop and refine our audience's critical thinking and viewing
skills.
