I visited the Radio Museum located inside the Parque de los Venados metro station on Line 12 in Mexico City. It’s a small but fascinating place dedicated to the history of radio. There are wooden boxes where you can put your head inside to listen to old recordings, as well as vintage microphones and transmission equipment that once carried radio signals across the airwaves. It’s a hidden gem for anyone interested in communication and technology.
