Accredited Museum

Welcome to the MUSEUM OF TECHNOLOGY. The Museum spans that very small period in history in which the technological revolution took place. The items represent the evolution of electrical, electronic and warfare technology between the period 1850 and 1980. Museum curator Rosie Hourihane invites you to look around our web site.

Please contact us if you have any queries.

Our museum is funded and run entirely by volunteers. If you have enjoyed visiting our web site, a donation, however small, will help us continue our mission, to rescue, preserve and display early technology for the education and enjoyment of all - thank you.

LATEST NEWS

We have moved to Throckenholt

The museum is currently closed to visitors as we have moved to Throckenholt which is 10 miles from Spalding, 16 miles from Peterborough, 8 miles from Wisbech and close to a little village called Parson Drove.

Building of the new museum has commenced. The foundations are complete, the walls are now being built, and we hope to move the collection to its new home once the roof is on. Then the fun will begin planning the displays etc. Meanwhile we are offering our schools and reminiscence “Loan Box Service” to teachers and carers in the locality. Please ring Rosie on 01945 700772 for more detailed information.

We hope to be opening the new Museum of Technology sometime in 2013. Meanwhile you can see its progress here.
