A different way of operating
Where permitted, try out how a computer responds to keys, commands or a game. Differences become tangible when you find out for yourself which actions are needed to make something happen.
Taking in the surroundings
The furnishings around the computers contribute to the display. See which situation of use is being portrayed, and read the explanation before equating a personal memory with the whole era.
Software is part of it
Games and other software are part of the collecting field. The available set-up determines what you can try; an extensive collection does not mean that every program is ready to go.
Before you go
Check holiday opening and last admission. Ask in advance about accessibility or a specific computer if that is the main reason for your visit.
