The National Museum of Computing is a United Kingdom museum that is dedicated to collecting and restoring historic computer systems and is home to the world's largest collection of working historic computers.[1] The museum is located on Bletchley Park in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.[2] It opened in 2007 in Block H which is the first purpose-built computer centre in the world, having housed six of the ten Colossus computers that were in use at the end of World War II.
As well as first generation computers including the original Harwell Dekatron computer – the world's oldest working digital computer [3] – Mainframe computers of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, there is an extensive collection of different personal computers and a classroom full of BBC Micros. It is available for corporate and group visits, schools, and individuals.
Although located on the Bletchley Park 'campus', The National Museum of Computing is an entirely separate registered charity[4] with its own fund-raising and separate entrance and ticketing. It receives no public funding and relies on ticket sales and the generosity of donors and supporters. In 2024 it was awarded full accreditation as a Nationally-styled museum by Arts Council England.
