Excerpt: 

The emphasis of the collection of the Computer Museum is on technical and scientific electronic computing equipment from World War II up till today. However the collection also includes tools from the pre-computer era: mechanical, electromechanical and electronic calculators, slide rules and tables. There are some word-processors and a small collection of home computers. Accounting machines, game computers and the like are beyond the scope of this museum.
Most of the machines are in working order, equipped with original system and application software and fully documented.
