Who
Families

The Centre for Computing History has about 44,000 items in its collection. All are important to us, but some have extra special tales to tell.

The collection includes some of the city's rich heritage, from parts of EDSAC, the University's first computer, to early versions of the Raspberry Pi. Revisit old favourites, such as Sinclair and Acorn machines, and learn about some of the more surprising exhibits that have their roots in Cambridge. Join the tour to take a look back at Cambridge's computing past.

The tour is free (although museum entry charges apply).

 

This event is part of Summer at the Museums 2025.
