This was around the same time as Guglielmo Marconi. Popov’s work was significant for the development of wireless communication. He presented his first radio receiver to the Russian Physical and Chemical Society. It happened in 1895.
The A.S. Popov Central Museum of Communications is also in Saint Petersburg. It was founded in 1872. It is a museum of science and technology. The Telegraph Museum opened on September 11, 1872. Carl Luders was the head of the Telegraph Department of Russia. He declared the museum’s foundation. In 1884, the post office branch was added. It became the Postal and Telegraph Museum.
