The Museum of Communication is an interactive museum dedicated to the subject of communication in BernSwitzerland. In 2019 it was awarded the  Council of Europe Museum Prize.[5] It was founded in 1907 as the corporate museum of Swiss Post (later called PTT), the national postal service of Switzerland.[6] The restructuring of the museum into a foundation of Swiss Post and Swisscom led to a broadening of the overall theme and a new name, the Museum of Communication.[7] The latest incarnation of the museum, which opened its doors with a redesigned permanent exhibition in 2017, is focused completely on its visitors.[8]
