The Paley Center for Media

The Paley Center for Media is a museum that contains 5 floors, as well as a concourse level, filled with theaters, screening rooms, galleries, and a radio listening room that contain a variety of shows that occurred throughout the twentienth century.  Even though my first expectation of the museum was to see the world’s oldest radio and other things, seeing shows and commercials of other generations was classic as one could experience the change of the world around us throughout the years.  Radio shows were very interesting since one could pick whatever they wanted to listen to from the museum’s large collection.  According to me, the most interesting section of the museum was the Edward and Patricia McLaughlin Library where one could browse through over 120,000 programs and commercials that appeared in television as well as radio.  Whoever is interested in a lost generation, this museum is strongly recommended.
