Ask HN: Places in the UK / Europe Related to computers

3•sailorganymede•4h ago

I’m interested in visiting some historic or special places related to this field as a way of rejuvenating my passion in the field again.

I’ve never been to Bletchley Park so I figured I might as well make a visit to see if I can get excited about something that doesn’t involve arguing about the merits of adding a column to a database.

Any other places people recommend / have been to ? Thank you!

I wanted to tell you about computer museums in Germany, but then I've found a list of computer museums of the world at wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_museums

In Germany we've quite a few more or less good equiped museums.. The one in Stuttgart, South of Germany, is located at the University and is quite interesting. May be the upper List will be of good inspiration for you!

The National Museum of Computing (next to but completely separate from Bletchly Park) is fantastic.

Definitely book a tour if you go. Speaking to the volunteers about how they used the machines on display is a fantastic way to experience part of the living history of computing.
