The ‘Mobile Phone Museum’ is a Joy

The Mobile Phone Museum project was conceived by Ben Wood in 2004. In 2019, he joined forces with fellow mobile phone collector, Matt Chatterley and a year later they worked with a small team to create a not-for-profit entity which is now a registered charity. This is designed to safeguard this important collection of mobile technology heritage and help fund further growth.

The collection currently has over 2,800 individual models from more than 250 different brands. There are over 6,000 devices in total when duplicates are included.

When a device is donated, it is catalogued, labelled, photographed and moved to our secure storage facility. The flow of new devices continues on an almost daily basis

The website is beautiful and a trip down memory lane. The site includes a nice blog.

I want to thank Om Malik for bringing this site to my attention.
