Milton Keynes Museum

Milton Keynes Museum is home to the history of Britain's newest city. The huge and forever changing displays, all housed in a beautiful Victorian farmstead, have something for all the family.

The museum follows the history of the Milton Keynes area, including North Buckinghamshire and South Northamptonshire, from 1800 to the present day. Our collections include social, domestic, industrial and agricultural items with a connection to the area.

The Museum's Connected Earth collection include a wide variety of historic telephones and switchboards. Many of these are in working order and explain the development fo engineering and switching technologies.

The museum also has some historic Post Office and British Telecom vehicles - the largest of which is the Road Phone, a giant working telephone used as a promotional tool.
