The National Museum of Computing is dedicated to showing the development of computing in its broadest sense, from the pioneering wartime efforts that resulted in Colossus, to the products and systems we use today. Exhibits include the Colossus replica, and some big-iron commercial computers e.g Elliot 803B, ICL 2966, that formerly filled the computer rooms of large companies from the 1960s to the 1980s, and a multitude of personal computers and calculators, including Sinclair, BBC Micro, and Amstrad.
There should be something here to interest everyone who has used computers. Older visitors can go around exclaiming “I used to use one of those!” while younger ones can try out the computer games on the personal computers.
TNMOC is on the same site as Bletchley Park, in block H. Please note that TNMOC now levies an admission charge of £5, and if you only want to visit TNMOC, you don’t need to pay the Bletchley Park admission as well. Currently TNMOC has restricted opening hours.
