Humans have a great ability to work together, to think collaboratively as a community, this is due to their ability to communicate – to send and receive complex messages.

Here visitors can see text and graphics depicting the Basic Model of Communication.

Visitors enter an area confined by a large wall graphic and hear a soundscape. The graphic pictures smoke signals, drums, naval flags, and semaphore flags, people delivering a sheet of folded paper to a sailor in a boat and to a horse rider. The soundscape has a shifting set of sounds – drums, calling voices, Morse code, horses galloping, etc.

Visitors can see on the wall projection of the slides about History of Communication, from cave paintings to the most modernized technologies.

Visitors can use a simple code on two visual telegraphs. They can turn six flaps so that their friend can see the letters of a message which can be decoded.

Visitors can pull the tin cans apart to apply tension to the string, and then talk using the tin can telephones.

This is a screen based interactive exhibit, visitors can communicate with a chimpanzee via a touch-screen with different sequences of symbols.
