The Experience

The Society for the Preservation of Antique Radio in Canada (SPARC) operates one of North America's largest vintage radio collections. Explore the evolution of communication from early wireless telegraphy to the golden age of broadcasting.

  • The museum houses thousands of rare artifacts, including vacuum tubes, transmitters, and restored wooden radios.

  • A standout feature is the replica of the Carpathia's radio room, which received the Titanic's distress calls.

  • Knowledgeable volunteers are often on hand to share technical insights and stories about the collection.

  • Visitors can learn about the critical role radio played in both world wars and early maritime safety.
