Jean Nohain Section
The radio was gradually becoming a social phenomenon with more diversified programmes while radio sets changed continually.
A collection of 150 sets from the 1920s to the 1950s are on exhibit so you can see how their shapes, colours and materials varied. Extracts from radio shows created and hosted by Jean Nohain can be heard: “Les Incollables”, “Le salon des amis de Mireille”, “Reine d’un jour”…
In the 1930s, the radio became part of French families in its own right and serials and soaps kept millions riveted to their radio sets. Listen to an extract from the serial titled “Signé Furax”.
