The online museum is underpinned by a series of major physical exhibitions in museums across the UK, including the display at Goonhilly. Each covers a specific theme on the history of telecommunications.

These museums, ranging from national institutions to smallspecialist collections, work with BT to form the Connected Earth partnership – making the story of how communication has shaped the world accessible to everyone.
