Porthcurno Telegraph Museum

Porthcurno Telegraph Museum tells a story of British international telegraph cable communications from the 1850s to the 1950s. It shows how the Victorian Internet was created and how Britain's international links were protected during World War II. Housed in an underground building built during the Second World War it also includes displays on the history of radio and the social history of Porthcurno.

The museum has received a large number of historic exhibits from the BT collection as part of the Connected Earth initiative, many of which are already on display.
