On this topic, does anyone know where are the best computer museums to visit?

What is the biggest one in the world?



Bletchley Park in the UK is home to the National Museum of Computing - they're both FANTASTIC to visit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_Museum_of_Computi... has a working rebuild of a Colossus Mark 2.


Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_History_Museum

Computer Museum of America in Atlanta, GA https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Museum_of_America

Not a computer museum but I have a soft spot for the Connections Museum in Seattle, WA https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connections_Museum


CHM has been my favorite to visit every time I'm in the area. I do wish they would have more modern stuff though. Especially the period between 90s to 2010s. There are some parts (first iPhone, Palm Pilot), but I wish they would continue because the internet age has been incredibly important.


A secret amazing museum: System Source just north of Baltimore: https://museum.syssrc.com/. Much more amazing than the website makes it seem!
