Accredited Museum

Welcome to the MUSEUM OF TECHNOLOGY. We are located in the Old Town, Hemel Hempstead. The Museum spans that very small period in history in which the technological revolution took place. The items on display 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 and the museum.

Please contact us if you have any queries or would like to visit the museum.

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.

The BBC films at the Museum

In June 2010 programme makers from the BBC led by Kirsty Young visited the museum to film some of our period office equipment, along with an oral history supplied by Elaine, a lady who remembered using it. We were informed that the programme's working title is to be "The British at Work" and will be broadcast early next year.
