| Name_of_museum | Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station |
| Notes | British Telecom opened a visitor centre at Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station by the 1990s but this was not really a museum. In 2002-3 the visitor centre was expanded to include a Connected Earth gallery holding part of the BT Connected Earth heritage collection. In March 2010 it was announced that the visitor centre would not reopen for the season and it remained closed permanently (via email from Jack Kirby). Sized based on BBC report of closure. |
