      • The museum was founded on 11 September 1872 as the Telegraph Museum — one of the oldest science and technology museums in the world.
      • Until 1917 the museum was a closed departmental one, and it opened to the public only in 1924 as the Museum of People's Communications.
      • The museum occupies the former palace of Chancellor A. A. Bezborodko, Postmaster General.
      • It holds A. S. Popov's first radio receiver-lightning detector and the first civilian communications satellite, Luch-15.
      • From 1974 the museum was closed for almost 30 years because the building was in disrepair, and it reopened on 19 December 2003.
