Radio and TV Museum, also known as Mastola, is a museum located in Lahti, Finland.[1] The museum is near the city centre on the Radiomäki hill (literally translated to Radio Hill).[1] Next to the museum building are two 150-meter-high radio masts built in 1927.[1] The masts are a well-known landmark and a symbol of the city. The museum operates in a radio station building designed by a Finnish architect Kaarlo Könönen and built in 1935.[2]
The Radio and TV Museum was opened in 1993.[2] The museum went through an extensive renovation between the years 2014–2016 and reopened in 2017.
The museum operates under the Lahti City Museum.[1] The Radio and TV Museum collects, researches and exhibits objects related to radio and television especially in Finland.[1] It is a national specialist museum in its field.[1] Visitors can experience old radio and television programmes and see equipment of different eras.[1] The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, seminars and events.
