Bletchley Park is great for its own exhibition, plus it has the UK&#x27;s national museum of computing: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_National_Museum_of_Computing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_National_Museum_of_Compu...</a><p>There&#x27;s a fine guidebook called the Geek Atlas, which should be what you&#x27;re looking for. Bit US centric though: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;shop.oreilly.com&#x2F;product&#x2F;9780596523213.do" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;shop.oreilly.com&#x2F;product&#x2F;9780596523213.do</a>

I was going to say the BT Museum, but that closed to visitors in 1997(!).<p>The replacement is &quot;Connected Earth&quot;: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Connected_Earth" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Connected_Earth</a><p>&gt; Connected Earth is a UK network of organisations, primarily museums, that preserve the history of telecommunications in the UK. Heritage artefacts are physically dispersed to Connected Earth partners and other institutions as appropriate, and are brought together again online through virtual galleries, searchable catalogues and educational resources at its website.

I was just at the American Computer &amp; Robotics Museum in Bozeman, MT not too long ago. It&#x27;s pretty small but they have some interesting stuff - for example, an Apple I donated by Woz, a control module from a Minuteman ICBM, some Apollo moon mission hardware, among other things...
