Can’t get to us in person? You don’t have to miss out!

Take a tour of the world’s largest collection of working historic computers! Our intimate, carefully curated and expert-led live virtual guided tours unearth the fascinating history of modern Computing. Journey from the early electro-mechanical code breaking machines of WWII and the world's first entirely digital semi-programmable computer, discovering how technology evolved from valves and early semiconductors to the modern microprocessors we use today. You will uncover the development of large mainframes, supercomputers and scientific mini-computers, responsible for process control from office-based systems to airspace! The tour will conclude by exploring the rise of personal computing, mobile computing and the advent of the internet and smart devices, bringing you up-to-date by examining how this technology has revolutionised the way we now interact with machines and each other. Informed by interpretation experts at Blended Past and produced in association with one of the UKs leading 3D virtual tour providers and 360° photography specialist, Venue View, our immersive, interactive multimedia virtual tour takes advantage of the latest technology. Wherever you are in the world, you can use your desktop PC, laptop, handheld device or even VR headset to adventure through the Museum and be captivated by the 50,000 artefacts in our unrivalled collection, illuminated by the expert first-hand knowledge of our Museum Guides.
