I loved the Computing History museum and highly recommend a visit. I had the opportunity to write some Basic code in an old machine and play old video games.

I went walking from the train station to the museum, if you do that, you need to take into account that it is in the outskirts of the city. It may seem that you are going in the wrong direction and there is nothing there, but there is. The museum is a big warehouse in an industrial area.

> The hardware required to play the games is also preserved

You can play with real physical machines. The exhibitions change so what you can play depends on when you visit the museum. Emulation is great, but hardware preservation is important.

Their shop is an awesome place to get some gifts for your computer-loving friends.
