Museum of Computing at Swindon, Computer museum in Theatre Square, Swindon, United Kingdom.
The Museum of Computing contains functional early computers, gaming consoles, and calculators arranged across multiple exhibition spaces in central Swindon.
Established in 2003, this institution became the first museum in the United Kingdom dedicated exclusively to preserving and displaying computing history.
The museum contributed thirty vintage computers to support the creation of the reference book Digital Retro by Gordon Laing in 2004.
The facility opens every Saturday from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with adult tickets at £5, children under 16 at £3, and family passes at £12.
Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and patron of the British Computer Society, visited the museum in April 2007 to examine its technological collection.
