- f_allwein 10y agoBletchley Park is great for its own exhibition, plus it has the UK's national museum of computing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_Museum_of_Computing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_Museum_of_Compu... There's a fine guidebook called the Geek Atlas, which should be what you're looking for. Bit US centric though: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596523213.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596523213.do
- OJFord 10y ago> Bletchley Park is great for its own exhibition, plus it > has the UK's national museum of computing Came to say the same. It's recently had a bout of lottery funding too. They still have a running Colossus replica too - well worth a visit.
- alblue 10y agoNote that the museum of computing didn't get any of that funding, and visitors to the main Bletchley park site are not told about it apart from a single sign in the lobby. Unless you know it's there you won't find it. http://www.tnmoc.org/ http://www.tnmoc.org/
- f_allwein 10y agoOh, I forgot to mention: The Deutsches Museum in Munich, the world's largest museum of science and technology: http://www.deutsches-museum.de/index.php?id=1&L=1 http://www.deutsches-museum.de/index.php?id=1&L=1
- DanBC 10y agoI was going to say the BT Museum, but that closed to visitors in 1997(!). The replacement is "Connected Earth": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connected_Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connected_Earth > Connected Earth is a UK network of organisations, primarily museums, that preserve the history of telecommunications in the UK. Heritage artefacts are physically dispersed to Connected Earth partners and other institutions as appropriate, and are brought together again online through virtual galleries, searchable catalogues and educational resources at its website.

- Jeema101 10y agoI was just at the American Computer & Robotics Museum in Bozeman, MT not too long ago. It's pretty small but they have some interesting stuff - for example, an Apple I donated by Woz, a control module from a Minuteman ICBM, some Apollo moon mission hardware, among other things...
