Computer Museums

Computer history museum. Museums of science and industry are classified into two general types: historical museums, which preserve and display objects that are important to the development of science and technology, and centers, which teach the principles related to these fields. Usually, most institutions fall into one category or the other. Among large historical museums three are preeminent: the Science Museum in London, the Deutsches Museum in Munich, and the science and technology portions of the Smithsonian's National Museum of History and Technology in Washington, D.C. Despite their nationalistic base, all three give broad coverage to the major areas of science and technology. The links included herein relate to computer museums and collections.
