We hate 2020!

Just when we thought 2020 couldn't get any worse! We were about to re-open after many months of being closed but then disaster struck when a mains water pipe burst and flooded much of the ground floor of the museum.
Sadly re-opening has now been postponed. Read More >>>

No visitors, no workshops, no events, no school visits... no income. We know that things are tough for everyone right now, but if you can afford to help us through these tough times please donate what you can.

There's over 36,000 exhibits here! That should keep you occupied for a bit - get searching!

Or come and get involved on our social media channels ...

Thank you.

Commodore 64 Released

In August 1982, the Commodore 64 (or C64) home computer was released.
It was one of the most popular home computers ever made and during it's lifespan, sold between 17 and 30 million units although exact figures are difficult to find.

Amazingly, the C64 was still being produced in 1994 when Commodore filed for bankrupcy in April of that year.
