  3. They left out Bletchley Park! by chalsall · · Score: 3, Informative · on Finding a Tech Museum For Your Beloved Retired Computer(s)

    The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park (England) might be interested as well -- they have a section for personal computers.

    Also, if you ever get a chance to visit, plan for at least half a day -- it's fascinating!

    Can thoroughly recommend a visit to http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/ which also houses The National Museum of Computing http://www.tnmoc.org/ Of the codes generated by the 12 different ENIGMA-type machines used by the Germans, 2 were never broken. And finally, the museum is used as an intreresting location for corporate events and weddings.

  7. National Museum of Computing is well worth a visit by hcdejong · · Score: 5, Informative · on EDSAC Computer To Be Rebuilt

    I was at Bletchley Park a couple of months ago and by chance the National Museum of Computing was open that day. They've got some interesting displays of old computers, and their goal is to get them all running again. They cover everything between EDSAC and modern computers. Their oldest computer is a Harwell WITCH from 1951 (a decimal computer), this is being restored at the moment. Other fun stuff includes a collection of calculators, and a BBC micro with a working BBC Domesday Project laserdisc installation.

    It's a separate museum on the Bletchley Park grounds, and its opening times are a bit limited (esp. in winter), so check before you go.

    I was at the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park recently, where they have this exhibit going from a three-foot platter to a 3,5" mechanism (next to the disk box marked 777774).
