The first telephone was designed over 140 years ago, but we suspect it wasn’t as simple as just using two cups and some string!
Can this work? How does it work? Come along to the Hands on History Museum and find out. Make your telephone to decorate, before making your first “call”.
*ring ring* Hello – it’s science calling!

Venue Details
The museum is open from 12.00 noon to 4.00 pm every second and fourth Saturday of each month. From local history to global treasure, take a walk through the ages in Hull’s Old Town. There’s so much history to get your hands on in our museum. Uncover the Story of Hull. See what life was like in Victorian times. And come face to face with a 2,600-year-old mummy! Where else can you hop from locally-made textiles to King Tutankhamun’s treasures? Find us in the old Grammar School where Hull’s famous abolitionist William Wilberforce once studied.
