For a place of such significance - not just to Canada but the world - this is a remarkably hidden little place to try and find. It's one small building and a bit of an outdoor walk but absolutely loaded with information and historical value in Three languages! French, English and Italian. I flipped through the guest book and can honestly say that from all over the world people have come to this location. And - Families - it's FREE. From there we went a few blocks over and down on the roads so we could go down the concrete steps to a bit of rocky beach where everyone is busy searching for beach glass. One of the locals said, "can't find it like we used to" which makes every tiny piece a fun treasure to pounce on.

The museum will open on Canada Day (July 1st). No interior pictures. The location provides a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean and off in the distance is Scatari Island. On the waters edge some steep and rugged cliffs add to the natural beauty. Watch as the small fishing vessels enter Glace Bay Harbour.
My wife and I were here in mid-August. The displays were interesting enough, but the young female Parks Canada employee couldn't be less engaged. She was reading her book and barely looked up when we entered, not bothering to greet us or ask if we had any questions. The washrooms were not very clean, especially during the COVID-19 crisis, and given that the facility was not busy at all. It's not like the staffer had too much to do to keep the washroom maintained.
This is a really neat historical location. The displays were overall well done and easy to read. The location itself is a bit small and some displays need maintenance but it was j retesting non the less. The staff were helpful with regards to questions about the local area. The outside of the building has some good scenary and is worth a quick walk! Parking is sufficient for the traffic flow to the area.
Very educational stop. Nice views. Learned lots on Marconi's scientific contributions.
It's a neat piece of history, however the center does not open until July 1. You can still look over the bluffs and they do have some placards explaining the history.
Loved our stop here. The ocean view is spectacular! The old antenna base is still there. Inside there is historic timeline of the trans Atlantic communication. Worth the stop if you like historical points.
Fantastic! Such a wonderful surprise. I love history, so today's visit was a great excuse to "nerd out". Very simple museum. Only took about 20-30 minutes for the entire visit. If you're in the area (and love history) give this spot a look.
