Morse in Franklin The Franklin Museum of Telegraphy (电报通讯术) in Philadelphia will present an exhibition on the life and invention of Samuel Finley Breese Morse,the co-inventor of Morse code (摩尔斯电码) . In those days,sending information with short signals was impossible. MorseJ's invention brought about the improvement of telegraphs.
Models of the first telegraph and the telegraph of the early days will be displayed in the exhibition. Portraits and paintings of Morse will be on display as well. We will be giving out small booklets on Morse code to children to help them understand it in a funny way.
There will also be some short films and talks that will give visitors a deeper understanding of Morse ’s life. They will be offered to visitors at the end of the tour so that everyone can fully grasp the meaning of the exhibition.
The exhibition will start from May 1 through July 30 at the Franklin Museum of Telegraphy. Tickets are available at $20 for adults, $10 for children below the age of 12 ,and a group rate of $100 for ten or more people. Children below the age of 5 can get in for free.
