History
The museum was founded by Ben Wood[4] and Matt Chatterley,[5] and officially launched at an event in London in November 2021.[6] It is supported through a five-year sponsorship agreement with Vodafone.[7][3] At launch the museum consisted of more than 2000 unique devices from 200 different manufacturers, spanning from early developments in mobile phones to the latest models.[8][9]
The museum has plans to develop travelling exhibitions to showcase the collection to science, technology and design museums, and to schools.[8]
