About
The National Communication Museum (NCM) is a brand-new museum in Hawthorn based in a historic 1930s exchange building, parts of which are still operational, on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people.
Located next to Swinburne University in Hawthorn, an emerging STEAM precinct in Melbourne, and designed by award winning architects Carr design, visitors at NCM can explore the technologies that empower us to shape our future.
By engaging in conversation, risk taking and experimentation, NCM provides a welcoming space for addressing challenging questions in an ever-evolving landscape of technological disruption and change.
