Discover how radio changed home life when it was the newest of new technologies.

Drawing on a rich range of visual and aural material, this exhibition explores the hype and reality of the early years of radio.

Focussing on the first two decades of radio, the exhibition charts big changes – such as radio's impact on family dynamics – to everyday concerns about its influence on dinnertime conversation. All brought to life with newly uncovered first-hand accounts, giving a voice to the listeners who lived through this massive social and technological change.

Listen In and uncover how radio changed the home.
