Introduction

The National Museum of Computing is the world's first purpose built computer centre. The historic collection is housed at Bletchley Park, which was home to some of the most amazing feats of code cracking during the Second World War.

The star attraction is Colossus, used to break Nazi codes during the war, and regarded as the first computer to be digital, programmable and electronic.

V3.co.uk was given a private tour around the museum.
