PK Porthcurno Museum of Global Communications Discover an award-winning museum experience that explores the amazing story of our connected world ๐ŸŒ Everyone communicates.

The technology behind communication has shaped the world we live in. Mobile phones and tablets, fibre optics, the World Wide Web, radio and television would not have been possible without the development of the undersea telegraph and early wireless technology. We are here to tell this amazing story; from the first practical use of electricity to how we communicate today using high-tech fibre optic cables that run under the world's seas and oceans. How cable communication and early wireless technology came to change everything about the way we live, work, and play.
