The National Museum of Computing details...

Look forward to a hands-on day out with the children at The National Museum of Computing in Buckinghamshire. Located on the Bletchley Park Estate, this fascinating museum offers an interactive and engaging way to experience the history of computing.

See the world’s largest collection of working historic computers including: the working Turing-Welchman Bombe, the Colossus (first electronic computer), the W.I.T.C.H. (oldest working digital computer), and the EDSAC Replica Project. 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-70s, through to the rise of personal computing in the 1980s and beyond.

Look out for hands-on workshops and family activities during school holidays.
