There was a time when telegrams were the pinnacle of modern communication. Their era definitively ended on March 31, 2010, when the very last telegram was sent on the territory of the Czech Republic. This historical artefact is now exhibited in the Pelhřimov Museum of Records and Curiosities.

The author of the last message was student Martin Jonáš, who sent the telegram shortly before midnight.
