  A few different museum curators brought together in one space create this huge and epic museum. Unlike many other museums, this place offers a very hands-on approach to their displays when possible, with many of the displays in working order! The staff are incredibly friendly and laid-back. Even though I arrived at 4:30 just half an hour before closing, Brendan gladly gave me a wonderful tour that I thoroughly enjoyed. I felt so welcome and impressed by The Collection that I came back to help volunteer my time in preparing for an open house the next few days. There were so many epic displays that span from mechanical to tube to silicon compters. Printing presses, to Apollo era mainframes, to cray supercomputers, to DEC PDP, to the first home computers (such as Apple, Commodore, IBM PC). If you like vintage electronics of any sort, you’ll love this place.

  Brendan was a great tour guide, and he really knows his stuff! As another review said, much of the displays are functional and interactive, which is awesome. This museum and Bloop (his own collections/exhibits in the museum) are a passion project for him, so I got a top-notch one-on-one 5 hour tour for the low price of free! Donations are very much appreciated, though, and are more interesting than an admission fee, so I brought some old software CDs as thanks. I’ve since remembered my attic full of old computer stuff that probably belongs in a museum, so I’ll be visiting again to learn more computer and video game history! Oh, and they have some cool merchandise too – check it out in the photos I attached.

  Great place to visit to learn about computer history. Lots of hands on exhibits and we got an awesome personal tour. I recommend K-12 teachers bring their students here and others who just have a general interest in computers. It was impressive to see many of the old computers working too. Best of all, it is free and they are continuing to add additional specimens. They do request you make an appointment so they can ensure there is someone there that speak to history of each exhibit. Highly recommended. Thank you System Source.
