Computing History Cambridge Games Podiums

The Centre for Computing History is much more than a museum. Based in Cambridge, it hosts hands-on exhibitions, educational workshops and a wide range of activities and events. Most importantly, it makes the history of computing relevant and fun for all ages!

Open Wednesday-Sunday, 10am-5pm

We are open every day this half term, from Monday the 13th February to Sunday the 19th February.  We will resume our normal Wed-Sun opening times from the 20th.

 

We hope to see you very soon!
