It s not a museum although they do have small exhibits. You can come here to watch TV shows from years back and browse their comprehensive media archive. When we visited, we saw the first few episodes of the 1977 miniseries Roots , about the African slave trade. We also looked at vintage cigarette advertisements from as far back as the 1920s.

Admission is free but donations are welcome.

The next time you remember a rare media event or piece and wonder where you can see it, you know where to go.
