Experimental television equipment similar to that used by TV pioneer John Logie Baird form part of a new exhibition being held in the East Sussex seaside town where he worked.
The new exhibits include copies of the items Baird used in his first broadcasts and a ventriloquist's dummy similar to one he used for his TV tests in Hastings.
They arrived at Hastings Museum and Art Gallery last week from their former home at the National Media Museum in Bradford, a Hastings Borough Council spokesman said.
The first shaky television images were transmitted from Baird's workshop above Queen's Arcade in Hastings town centre in the 1920s, making the town the birthplace of TV.
