Television: TV in the Antenna Age

If you find that you have extra time on your hands before your next flight, make sure that you visit the Television: TV in the Antenna Age exhibit at the San Francisco Airport in terminal 3. This exhibit will run through February 2012.

This exhibit recaps the history of the television and how it has been viewed over the years. In the beginning, there were many skeptics who doubted that the T.V. would ever be embraced by the majority of families. They simply didn’t believe that families had the time to just sit in their chairs and stare off at a box for hours on end. How wrong they were…

This exhibit will take you through the history and evolution of the Television. Be sure to catch the exhibit on your way to our San Francisco airport hotel or before your next flight out.

If you have actually experienced this exhibit, please tell us about it!

This event is on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 2:30 pm and lasts 75 minutes. The Aquarium of the Bay recommends that you make a reservation one week in advance.
