ZAGREB, 3 March 2022 - The Nikola Tesla Technical Museum will stage an exhibition on 140 years of telephony in Zagreb on Friday to observe the 140th anniversary of the installment of the first phone line in the city of Zagreb.

The first telephone appeared in Zagreb in 1881 only five years after the device was patented in the USA.

The exhibition is a valuable contribution to the presentation of the history economy-wise and of the history of telecommunications in Croatia, says the Technical Museum, which organizes the show in cooperation with the HT Museum in Zagreb.
