Norsk Teknisk Museum

Sometimes, Sunday is a good day to visit a musseum, because they are free :)

Today, I decided to visit the Science musseum in Oslo, it is called the Teknisk Musseum and it is located far away from the center. It takes 45 minutes to get to there by tram.



It seems to be an interesting place because the first thing I saw was the TV cameras in action for some report or interview


Then, many interesting things. First, some old devices for recording. Magnetoscopes.



Then, the first synthetisers ever made. From the 70s and 80s. This one below was like the one used by Vangelis for the "Blade runner" movie soundtrack. It mixes digital sound with analogue filters:




This is a surprise, the lokomovil:




I took many pictures, as they have a wide range of machines and devices. Here just several examples.



Commercial plane with capacity for several passengers:




One of the oldest "Vespa" you can find. Dated 1947:


Authentic "patch panel" (operator is not authentic... hehe)


IBM computer (I find similatiries between this model and the WOPR computer ;)
