About Computer History Museum - Mountain view

Computer History Museum - The Computer History Museum is a remarkable hub that showcases the history of computers and continues to chronicle new advances in technology.The origins of the museum are in the Digital Computer Museum founded in 1979 in Marlborough, Massachusetts. In 1984 the museum moved to Boston and, in 1996, it moved a part of its collection to the San Francisco area in the new Computer History Museum in Mountain View. In 2002 the museum was moved to its current location, a building previously designed by the American studio Studios Architecture as the headquarters of the Silicon Graphics company, not far from NASA's Ames Research Center and the Googleplex, Google's headquarters. In 2001, the building that houses it was completely renovated by Mark Horton / Architecture.The Computer History Museum has a collection of approximately 100,000 objects, the largest in the world, covering the history of computers and their impact on society. The collection includes digital computers, calculating machines, peripherals, programs, historical documents, technical drawings, photographs and videos from the nineteenth century to the present. Among the most notable pieces we can find the ENIAC computer (1946), an Enigma coding machine (1935), a Cray-I supercomputer (1976), the Shakey robot (1969), a model of the Xerox Alto (1973), an Apple I (1976) and the first Google server, composed of 80 PC units (1999).
