A museum immersing visitors in the world of the army and signals
Inaugurated in 2005, this museum plunges us into the world of the army and signals. At the entrance, the presence of military personnel reminds us that we are entering the heart of a government agency. Presented on three levels, the collections show the evolution of communications and media (from smoke signals to Minitel, invented in Rennes, to the first television). The museum also houses a memorial and a research and documentation center.

Il manque un vrai parcours avec des flèches pour bien se repérer sur le sens de visite. Beaucoup d explications sonores en même temps si bien que c est confus. Sinon ce musée à le mérite d exister et il y a quelques pièces atypiques intéressantes. Bon point sur la gratuité et la facilité d accès. J y suis resté un peu plus d 1h.

Musée gratuit où l'on apprend beaucoup de choses sur l'histoire des moyens de télécommunications
Visited in july 2023
The Musée des Transmissions – espace Ferrié is a museum that I really enjoyed visiting. It is located in Cesson-Sévigné, a suburb of Rennes, in a modern building that houses the army’s communication service. The museum is free of charge and open to everyone who wants to discover the amazing story of how humans have communicated over long distances from the past to the present. The museum has three levels of exhibits that cover different aspects of telecommunication, such as optical, electrical, electronic and digital communication. I was fascinated by the variety and richness of the objects on display, such as the Chappe telegraph, the Enigma machine, the first radio and television sets, the Minitel, the first computer and USB key, and many more. The museum also explains the role of communication in military operations and conflicts, such as the electronic warfare and the encryption techniques. The museum is very educational and interactive, with many games and activities for children and adults to test their knowledge and skills. I think this museum is a great place to learn about science, technology and history in a fun and engaging way. I would definitely recommend this museum to anyone who visits Rennes or its surroundings
