Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum, Computer museum in Paderborn, Germany
The Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum spans 6,000 square meters across two floors, displaying the evolution of information and communications technology through numerous exhibits.
Following Heinz Nixdorf's unexpected death in 1986, the museum project gained momentum through discussions between employee Willi Lenz and Paderborn city officials.
The permanent exhibition connects ancient Mesopotamian writing systems to modern digital technologies, representing 5,000 years of human communication development.
The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 to 18:00 and weekends from 10:00 to 18:00, with multimedia guides available at no extra charge.
The facility maintains a collection of 25,000 objects related to computing history, making it the largest computer museum in the world.
