The Vicente Miralles Segarra Telecommunications Museum of the Polytechnic University of Valencia takes its name in honor of the first Valencian telecommunications engineer, Mr. Vicente Miralles Segarra (1926). His personal and professional career is an example of work and dedication to the engineering profession and public service. The Museum aims to illustrate the advance of Telecommunications through the devices that made it possible.

Currently, the museum has more than seven hundred pieces and continues to grow through private donations. Those interested in contributing to the museum collection through donations can contact the museum through the form available on the website or send an email to the address museo@etsit.upv.es.

Permanent exhibition

The more than two hundred and fifty pieces exhibited are distributed in display cases along the ground floor and first floor of the 4D building of the School of Telecommunications Engineering and are distributed in 5 areas: radio communications; telegraphy; image and sound; and instrumentation. Some of the pieces that can be seen are unique in the Valencian Community and unique with respect to those of other national museums on the same subject, such as: Morse telegraphy transmitters and receivers, universal galvanometer "Echenique" (telephone line impedance measurement equipment), collection of broadcasting devices from the 20s to the 70s, phonographs and gramophones of the late nineteenth century, a collection of fixed telephone terminals covering the entire twentieth century, a portable X-ray device "Sanchez" and telecommunication measurement equipment.
