About The National Museum of Computing

Explore the world's largest collection of working historic computers at The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC), located on the historic Bletchley Park estate in Milton Keynes. Home to the working Colossus - the world's first electronic digital computer - and the WITCH (Harwell Dekatron), the world's oldest working digital computer, TNMOC is the only place on earth where you can see both machines in action. Recognised as one of England's top 100 irreplaceable places, it's a genuinely unmissable day out for curious families, STEM fans, and anyone who wants to understand how the digital world we live in was built.

Where Computing History Comes Alive: Hands-On Fun for the Family!
At The National Museum of Computing, we bring the incredible story of computing to life in a way that’s fun, engaging, and hands-on for all ages. Families love exploring our interactive exhibits, where experimenting with historic and modern technology is encouraged!
Step back in time to see the world’s first electronic, digital computer - Colossus - and fast-forward through decades of innovation with machines you can use and understand. Our collection isn’t just something to look at—it’s something to experience; visitors can learn how to program vintage BBC computers and try out early games consoles.
Unlike traditional museums, we put exploration in your hands. Children and parents alike can engage in activities designed to inspire creativity, problem-solving, and a love of STEM. Whether it’s solving an Engima-encrypted puzzle or following on of our Digital Trails, kids can learn while having fun.
At TNMOC, every visit offers new discoveries, making it the perfect destination for family bonding and learning. It’s not just history—it’s an unforgettable, hands-on adventure into the past, present, and future of computing.
Where History Works: Get Hands-On with the World’s First Computers!
The National Museum of Computing is unlike any other attraction. Here, history doesn’t sit behind glass - it clicks, whirs, and comes alive! We’re the only place in the world where you can see the working Colossus (the world’s first electronic, digital computer), and the Bombe machine - used to break the Enigma codes during World War II.
What makes us truly unique is our hands-on approach. Most museums tell stories - at TNMOC, we encourage you experience them. You can touch, explore, and even program vintage computers, from behemoth mainframes to iconic 1980s PCs and early gaming consoles.
Our expert volunteers and guides bring these machines to life, demonstrating how they changed the world and connecting their innovations to the technology we use today. Whether you’re fascinated by history, science, or technology, TNMOC offers a truly immersive experience you won’t find anywhere else.
May Half-Term 2026: STEM Bytes
TNMOC's Half Term STEM Bytes sessions run on Saturday 25 May, offering bite-sized, hands-on technology tasters for the whole family. Whether it's getting to grips with early computing, exploring how the Bombe worked, or trying out retro gaming, these sessions are designed to make technology fun and accessible for all ages. Check the museum's events calendar for full details and booking.
