The Museum of Technology

The Museum of Technology, The Great War and WWII is a technology museum in Throckenholt, a village in Lincolnshire, England, UK. The museum was originally started in the Old Town of Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.[1] After operating there for 15 years, the collection moved to a new, purpose-built centre in Throckenholt. The new museum is currently still under construction but it is expected to open to visitors during 2015.

The displayed objects present the evolution of electrical, electronic, and warfare technology from 1850 to 1980, including World War I and World War II. Viewing is by appointment.[2]

The museum's former Hemel Hempstead site is due to reopen as a manicure salon and beauty parlour.[3]
