My trip to the Communication and Laptop Museum in Estonia

As other people here are recommending computer museums: I can recommend two in Germany: the Heinz-Nixdorf museum in Paderborn and the computer museum in Kiel.<p>The one in Paderborn is quite big and has lots to see. The one in Kiel is located in an elevated bunker and my co-founder happens to be the director. If someone <i>really</i> wants to, I&#x27;m sure we could arrange a private tour!

Cool! I was in this one in Tallinn a few years ago, it&#x27;s a very large private collection (family owned + volunteers iirc), you have to contact them beforehand to make sure there&#x27;s someone there, they have a lot of cool stuff, Robotron machines, some transmeta machines too!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arvutimuuseum.ee&#x2F;en&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arvutimuuseum.ee&#x2F;en&#x2F;</a>

On this topic, ff you&#x27;re in Vienna, Austria, a nice new retro-computing museum with a focus on gaming has just opened up ..<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gamingmuseum.at&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gamingmuseum.at&#x2F;</a><p>Some really fun things to see and do, including a working 8-bit collection, classic arcade games, etc.

There is also a interactive video games museum called LVLup in Estonia that is a lot of fun <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.facebook.com&#x2F;lvlupmuseum&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.facebook.com&#x2F;lvlupmuseum&#x2F;</a>

I absolutely have to go to this cool museum... Estonia is a great startup country: Online administrations, ect... They love startups. Tallinn, the capital city, is an european hub for small startups. And this comes by no miracle: - First let&#x27;s not forget that Estonia used to be part of USSR from 1945 to 1991. This is not ideal for startup land... - The real trick is that long before communism came, society in Estonia was rich and full steam on trading with boats. Hansea ligua was a big a thing in Northen Europe. Trade, compromise, innovation was already rooted in the Estonian working culture. Vive l&#x27;Estonie

There is a Michelin star restaurant in Palermo, Sicily called MEC that has a surprising collection of Apple products and personal photos, letters, and other effects from Steve Jobs (including his shoes?). I think they also had a camera pointed at our table so that the kitchen could deliver each course in optimal time. One of the more interesting meals I have had in my life, eating creative food while sitting next to an iMac G4 opulently displayed in a glass museum case.

Really cool. I sent the blog’s author an email asking him to add the museum as an entry to Atlas Obscura. Sadly, I didn’t have enough details to make an entry myself.

I also recommend<p>HomeComputerMuseum in Helmond (The Netherlands) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.homecomputermuseum.nl&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.homecomputermuseum.nl&#x2F;</a> The Apple Museum (Stockholm, Sweden) Computer History Museum (Mountain View, California)

Another private collection, more mainframes and supercomputers, in the UK that I found out about recently <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.computermuseum.org.uk&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.computermuseum.org.uk&#x2F;</a>
