Fingers Crossed for 2021 ...

2020 was the worst! COVID kept the museum closed for much of the year and a mains water pipe bursting causing a flood kept us closed for the rest.
We're hoping to re-open in the next few months ... fingers crossed! 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.
