“A museum can never stop … because of the fact there’s always something going on that depicts the changes … and that’s the purpose of this particular museum that we are starting … here from the very start. There’s still a long way to go, especially in electronics, as we all know.”

– Joe Pavek, from an interview with KARE-11 TV in 1988

Our founder, Joe Pavek, believed the story of electronic communication is always evolving—and that a museum must evolve with it. Financial contributions make that possible. Your support helps the Pavek Museum preserve the past, share meaningful stories across generations, and inspire curiosity and innovation through engaging exhibits and hands-on education.

By giving, you help advance our mission to connect generations, inspire innovation, and preserve knowledge, while moving us closer to our vision of being a leading national museum and a vital community resource.

When you contribute at the Circles of Support levels below, you will be acknowledged in the Pavek Museum Annual Report, and you receive Family Membership benefits all year round, including free admission, guest admission, early access and member pricing for events and programs, discounts on gift shop purchases, and reciprocal admission to 350+ other museums.
