Such an amazing museum. If you are in any way tech inclined and interested in the history of technology, this place is remarkable. Working, hands-on exhibits. Truly a labor of love that deserves to be seen by as many as possible.

Great place to visit. My son loves it too. Amazing gear hear and they really put alot of effort into setting it all up. You can get hands on with everything.

An eclectic collection of amazingly bizarre and interesting electronic stuff! From a working electromechanical Strowger telephone exchange to an array of lobotomised furbies. If you've ever wanted to play a midi organ or tinker with a 1980s home computer this is the place. You can tell a lot of love effort and passion goes into the museum, with how friendly and passionate everyone was to us.

This museum is simply amazing if you're into vintage electronics. A lot of exhibits are fully functional despite their age. Also, many exhibits are interactive. Congrats to the owners for the initiative of keeping these relics alive.

We've wanted to visit the museum since starting to follow Sam's videos of the church organ. The museum did not let us down. It's an incredible den of genius and weirdness, packed wall to wall (and floor to ceiling) with old tech and mad professor level inventions. Sam being there pottering about with boxes of random old electronics was a glorious bonus, even if we did get a bit star struck!
Definitely worth the trip from London just for this!

This is a compact little Museum,you wouldn't think from the outside that it's a museum!.. but when you enter,the past memories begin! M not a techy person but does remember some of the old gadgets inside,mostly communications systems,some computers and old games. It was a nice experience knowing how our technologies evolved during the years. If you are still a bit cautious about the Corona virus,then,this one you will need a mask on coz it can be busy at times. I did enjoy it and the staff were great and friendly. M sure with the likes of 70's,80's people, you will reminisce about old times. And there's a toilet, just in case nature calls!😊

A wonderful eclectic collection of retro electronics, hands-on "noise making" machines, synthesizers and a church organ.
Very helpful and friendly staff. A particular mention to the curator of the museum - Sam, who despite being very busy with a new project(s), took time out to talk to us about his work.
Top chap!
Toilet onsite (with telephone!).
£6 on the door.
Parking nearby.

Wow what a great museum! It's absolutely stuffed full with all kinds of cool electronic stuff. There are plenty of interactive exhibits to play with, push buttons and twiddle knobs. Sam and the team were very friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit if you're ever in Ramsgate, highly recommend!!

It's an amazing, wonderous cave of a place, stuffed full of familiar gadgets from my youth shown in different ways that my boys found joyously weird to see and play with. Sam was so kind and helpful in letting us in and showing us all his exhibits. Love, love, loved it! Already recommended it to all my musician friends - who already know of the channel but not the museum itself. I am still talking about playing the owls. Just brilliant. Go and support Sam and his fantastic museum. We all need this creativity in our lives.
