Things are tough right now ...

They're tough for everyone :( But when coronavirus hit here in the UK, the museum had to close its doors to the public, and we lost practically all our income overnight.

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.
