Description

The National Museum of Computing, located on Bletchley Park, is an independent charity housing the world's largest collection of functional historic computers, including the rebuilt Colossus, the world’s first electronic computer, and the WITCH, the world's oldest working digital computer. The museum enables visitors to follow the development of computing from the ultra-secret pioneering efforts of the 1940s through the large systems and mainframes of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and the rise of personal computing in the 1980s and beyond.

What to see

Explore the Galleries
A working reconstruction of one of the most famous wartime machines is now on display daily at The National Museum of Computing. With Colossus, the Bombe is widely regarded as having shortened the war, saved countless lives and was one of the early milestones on the road to our digital world.

Pop-Up Exhibition Space
The Pop-Up Exhibition space is where short term displays (typically 3 to 6 months) will be shown covering all aspects of computing. Details of the current display, proposed future displays and pictures of the previous displays can be seen below.

Virtual Flossie
Operating Flossie was nothing like using a computer now. First you had to load your program - from punched cards or magnetic tape - then install your data. You hit buttons and altered settings on a console of dials and flashing lights. Click on the image above and follow the instructions to use TNMOC’s Virtual Flossie. You will get a taste of 1960s computing power, installing your program on virtual punched cards, operating the console and producing your program’s results on virtual and physical cards.

Afternoon Activities @tnmoc
While they would love for you to spend the whole day interacting with our unique collection of working machines to build an understanding of the fascinating story of computing, we understand that sometimes plans just can’t be changed. As such, we offer a limited menu of options from our Sandford Awarded education programme for visitors with limited time.

Learning
Here at The National Museum of Computing, they want to cater to even our youngest learners. So they’ve created an offering just for them!
