From Wednesday 18 June until 12 October, the Palau de Cervelló is hosting the exhibition “Cent anys de ràdio a València (1925-2025). Viatge a través d’un segle d’emocions en les ones”. The councillor for Cultural Action, Heritage and Cultural Resources, José Luis Moreno, will attend the opening of the exhibition, which will take place on Wednesday 18 June at 12:30 pm. The curator of the exhibition, José Forés, will also take part in the event.
On 18 April 1925, the first radio station in Valencia was inaugurated at the Reina Victoria Hotel. Radio quickly became a great mass medium, a medium that entertains, informs and accompanies us every day.
The exhibition reviews a century of radio in our city and shows some of the receivers and devices that have made it possible for the magic of the airwaves to reach us. The exhibition is accompanied by seven podcasts starring people who are the living history of radio. Seven voices that have accompanied generations of listeners.
The exhibition on the history of radio in Valencia will open on 18 June at the Cervelló Palace, where it will remain open to the public until 12 October. The exhibition will bring together receivers from all periods, elements such as microphones, tape recorders and control tables, and even a radio transmitter from the 1930s on loan from the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
The curator of the exhibition, José Forés Romero, detailed the content of the exhibition which, he said, ‘shows the past of this medium of communication: the radio of the dictatorship, of the transition, the radio of 23-F… and also the radio of the future, of everything that is to come’. Precisely, this look at the technological innovations that mark our present has been specified in the catalogue prepared for the exhibition, which will be of a unique nature. As Forés Romero explained, the catalogue will consist of a series of podcasts that will bring together the testimonies of important figures in the history of Valencian radio broadcasting, the most important milestones, experiences, programmes and all the facts that describe a century of radio broadcasting history in our city.
Councillor José Luis Moreno thanked the Maestre family and Fermax, the Telecommunications Museum of the Universitat Politècnica de València, as well as the collector Pablo Amores for their participation in the initiative, and thanked them for their involvement in bringing the celebration to fruition.
The exhibition can be visited from Wednesday 18 June until 12 October 2025. The exhibition will be open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 2pm and from 3pm to 7pm. On Sundays and public holidays, the opening hours are from 10 am to 2 pm.
