Welcome to the Museum of Technology, The History of Gadgets and Gizmos
The Museum spans that very small period in history from 1850 - 1980 in which the technological revolution took place.The collection traces the progress of electronic and engineered artefacts including telegraphy, telephony, audio, military and civil communications, warfare, photography, scientific and electrical domestic equipment.
THE MUSEUM IS NOW OPEN. Please see our Facebook Page to find out about visiting days and times, or call us on 01945 700772
From Blueprint to First Visitors
We are proud to announce that the Museum is now open.
The museum flourished in Hemel Hempstead for over ten years, but as the collection grew we knew we would have to find larger premises, these were hard to come by, so the decision was made to build a place which we could fit the collection into.
We moved the collection from Hemel Hempstead in 2012 and work on the new building started shortly after.
Now four years later each technology can be displayed in its own area, the result is stunning.
Don’t take our word for it, come and visit us and see for yourselves how technology has changed the way we live between 1830 and 1980.
We offer something to amaze all age groups and I’m sure you will leave with the immortal words WOW on your lips.
