Popular for amateur radio enthusiasts and anyone just interested in our heritage, International Museums Weekend was created in order to set up amateur radio special event stations at as many museums as possible throughout the whole of the world as a way of linking these many keepers of historical information while promoting them to a wider audience and widening the appeal of amateur radio.

The event took place last weekend and will be on again this Saturday and Sunday (June 24-25).
