The Connected-Earth gallery
at Amberley Working Museum in West Sussex was officially
opened in May 2002 by HRH Prince Michael of Kent. The
purpose-built gallery features the most comprehensive
exhibition of telecommunications heritage in the UK, and
represents a major investment by BT as part of its £6
million Connected-Earth project.
