Purpose-built museum

This is the "Museum of Technology", which proclaims that it displays "The History of Gadgets and Gizmos" concentrating mainly on communications and home entertainment equipment from the period 1850 - 1980. It is located at the southern border of Lincolnshire, almost into Cambridgeshire, in a village called Throckenholt. I am used to the mild disappointment of most Lincolnshire museums, whose ambition normally exceeds their content. But I was very impressed here. There is a wealth of exhibits, expertly curated and labelled, and many of which can be demonstrated on request. They have a web site: http://www.museumoftechnology.org.uk/visit/visit.php This is an entirely independent museum, dependent on visitors and (like Geograph) on donations. It is a remarkably good place to visit, in a landscape unlike any other. See Image and Image for a hint of what lies within.
