MAVtech- Museum of Audio Visual Technology

What did the first television cameras in New Zealand look like? How did students see the world from a 1950s classroom? And which century-old radio needs no batteries or wall plug? Visit MAVtech to find the answers!

Home to an extensive collection of radios, televisions, projectors, cameras, recorded sound, music machines and cinema equipment MAVtech shares the stories of our forgotten futures. We are New Zealand's specialist museum of audio-visual technology and showcase history through the lenses and speakers of the machines which witnessed it!

This channel shares the stories behind some of our most intriguing items, including how they worked and who would have used them. Visit us in Foxton's Coronation Hall to discover them for yourself and see hundreds of other amazing machines on display. Visit our website (www.mavtech.org.nz) for our next open day. MAVtech's 1926 cinema also comes to life each month for an unforgettable night at the pictures.
