The National Museum of Computing is a museum dedicated to collecting and restoring historic computing systems developed in Britain. The building was the first purpose-built computer centre in the world, hosting six Colossus computers by the end of World War II. Its exhibits look at code-breaking, punch-card machines and the history of the internet. Our visit will include a guided tour and a chance to spend time looking at the unique collection.
There is a charge of £12.50 (for CILIP members or concessions) or £15 (for non-CILIP members). This includes the admission charge and VAT. For details of how to pay, please see the booking form.
This will be an afternoon visit. If you can come early, you may like to visit the renowned Bletchley Park, which shares the site with the NMOC. (Bletchley Park is a separate museum so our booking fee does not include entrance to that facility.)
Getting to the NMOC
The museum is 400m from Bletchley Railway Station. It is also served by a good bus and coach service. For further details and directions see: http://www.tnmoc.org/visit/getting-here
