Bletchley Park is always worth a visit, with or without a special exhibit, as is the adjacent National Museum of Computing which houses Colossus and a lot more interesting stuff. An important difference between this museum and computer museums in the US is that lots of the stuff works. The rebuilt bombe actually works. The rebuilt Collussus actually works. An impressive number of the old computers in the NMC work, including a room of old personal computers that are set up so you can use them. Not at all coincidentally, Bletchley is an easy day trip from Cambridge, Oxford, and London. (That's why they put Bletchley Park at Bletchley Park.)
