The MZTV Museum of Television is home to the world?s most comprehensive collection of television receivers and related memorabilia, and offers some 10,000 objects to scholars, students and the general public.  Artifacts and interpretive materials trace the evolution of TV, from the scanning discs of the 1920s to large cabinet sets and more.

Some of the items included in this TV memorabilia collection is the first star of television ? Felix the Cat, the 1939 World?s Fair ?Phantom Teleceiver? ? the set that introduced commercial television to North America, a two storey mural that charts the international ?Race for Television?, Marilyn Monroe?s personal 1957 Magnavox and the largest collection of pre-war televisions on display anywhere in the world.
