BT Partners

I have visited all the partner museums in the former BT Connected Earth programme taking photographs. I visited the Museum of London and the National Museum of Scotland in 2006. During the summer of 2007 I visited Porthcurno Telegraph Museum and the Goonhilly Earth Station (both below). Avoncroft followed during a THG swap-meet in March 2008 and several times since. The Science Museum in London which is a also a BT Partner, but doesn't have a specific Connected Earth Display. However, the Information Age gallery, opened in 2014 has a most comprehensive display of telecommunications history. I've taken a load of pictures of it may add it to the pages here when I get the time.

I'm showing just a few pictures of each museum to avoid spoiling the pleasure you'll get from visiting them yourself. (If you're interested for research purposes to know what other pictures I have from these museums, drop me an e-mail sam@samhallas.co.uk)

Above is a composite picture of the Communicate!display in the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh.
