IBM Endicott used to have a really nice museum. While in the area over the summer, I was told they moved it however I can't imagine that everything made it to this new location: http://www.endicottny.com/VCmuseum.html
The Living Computer Museum is well worth a visit. - My entire family really enjoyed it. - Turns out my kids are naturals with punch cards... or they just really liked all the noise it made :-) Kurt Acker IBM Smarter Planet, Smarter Data Centers Virtualization and Enterprise System Management Technologies From: Gabe Goldberg <[email protected]> To: [email protected], Date: 07/24/2013 09:44 AM Subject: Query for Destination z article -- computer museums Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> They're everywhere -- once I started looking for them. I knew about -- have toured -- Computer History Museum -- www.computerhistory.org/ And I recently saw a great presentation on The Living Computer Museum -- www.livingcomputermuseum.org/ But I hadn't known about American Computer & Robotics Museum -- www.compustory.com/ I wonder what other museums exist -- especially any with relevance to mainframes -- so I'll appreciate tips/pointers and, especially, hearing about experiences joining/supporting/visiting them. (Or contributing artifacts to them. Maintaining private collections of mainframe components as some people I know do is interesting but might not qualify as operating a museum. My wife called one such residence decorated with large mainframe components a "computer mausoleum" -- but I liked it.) Too bad, I have no budget for world tour of museums -- so I'll have to visit virtually. Please copy me directly so responses don't get lost in list digests.
