The purpose was to nurture the joint museum heritage of the three founders, to present it to the public, and to process it in a scientific manner. The Foundation was registered by the Budapest Municipal Court under Number 429. Since 1998, it has operated as a public service organization of special significance. The foundation performed the tasks set in the annual work plan. We celebrated the 125th anniversary of the start-up of Hungary’s first telephone switchboard. In doing so, we unveiled a bust of Tivadar Puskás in front of Magyar Telekom’s headquarters. As part of an appropriate celebration of World Post Day, we unveiled a statue of Péter Opris, the first post office manager to work in the city of Pécs, in that city. Over the course of the year, we organized twenty-one temporary and three new permanent exhibitions.
