MIRS Interactive Museum of Radio and Society


An adventure exploring the society of radio waves

The MIRS was born from the astonishing collection of over 400 historic radios, which collector Pier Giorgio Vendramini  donated to the Municipality of Pasiano di Pordenone after 30 years of research and selection. Not driven by nostalgia, but by the desire to tell the story of the radio wave revolution that transformed society in the 20th century.
The exhibition unfolds through a carefully curated selection of valuable devices and interactive multimedia stations, organized into thematic rooms and educational paths. These illustrate how the invention of the radio shaped our society and continues to do so today.

A Museum, Many Interactive Experiences

MIRS is structured into themed rooms, interactive paths, and multimedia stations that guide you through the discovery of the society of radio waves:
• Radio and Technology
• Radio and Communication
• Radio and Society
• Radio and War
• Radio Taste and Aesthetics
• Radio: Present and Future
• Podcast and web radio stations


Immersive Rooms: A Sensory Experience between Art and Technology
The interactive journey inside MIRS includes two rooms where visitors can engage in immersive, sensory experiences that delve into the technological and artistic aspects of radio:

• Inside the Radio
An immersive room that allows visitors to “step inside” a radio device and discover its functions, components, and secrets through a multimedia experience.

• Radio and Cinema
In collaboration with CINEMAZERO, this immersive room brings to life the legendary moments of “Radio Superstar”, featuring iconic scenes from great films of the past and present where the radio plays a starring role.

EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS: Hands-On Radio Wave Secrets for Kids and Adults
Radio wave technology was a leap forward in human evolution—it enabled real-time communication between distant peoples, reshaping society to this day.
It’s an invention we take for granted, but do we really know how radio waves work?
Try it firsthand in this exciting technological experience—radio will no longer be a mystery.
Neither will your smartphone!

THEMED GUIDED TOURS: Discover the Radio Through History, Society, Technology, and Design
Every Saturday and Sunday at 4:00 PM, Eupolis Studio Associato staff, in collaboration with collector Pier Giorgio Vendramini, will guide you through ever-changing thematic tours, exploring the social, historical, technological, and aesthetic themes tied to the great revolution that radio has brought from the 20th century to today.
