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.

Hewlett Packard release the HP 110 Portable / Laptop

Hewlett-Packard introduces the HP 110 laptop. Weighting in at a hefty 8.5lb, the computer features 272KB of RAM, an LCD display complete with MS-DOS 2.11 operating system. The laptop came complete with the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet, MemoMaker word processor and Infocom’s Zork game built in to the ROM.

The 'laptop' had an 80 column by 16 line LCD that could be tilted to adjust the viewing angle.
