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.

C. Itoh Electronics
Chubei Itoh commenced business as a textile trader in 1858, in Osaka, Japan. C. Itoh & Co. was formed in 1914 and diversified into manufacturing and heavy engineering after the Second World War. In the early 1980s, a division of C. Itoh Electronics called CIE Terminals made clones of DEC terminals. These weren't just compatible terminals; the CIT-101 looks identical to the VT100.

The company is still going strong as ITOCHU Corporation (http://www.itochu.co.jp/en/ - English language Home page) and still lists terminals on its roster of products.
