The Centre for Computing History (often shortened to CCH) is a hands-on computer museum in Cambridge that tells the story of the Information Age through objects you can actually see, hear, and often try out - computinghistory.org.uk 
It is run as an educational charity, which matters because the museum is not just “a room of old machines”, but a public-learning project with workshops, tours, and outreach - charitycommission.gov.uk
# Why Cambridge Cambridge is a fitting home for a computing museum because the city sits inside a dense ecosystem of universities, labs, and tech companies, and the museum leans into that local sense of “this stuff happened near here”.
The museum moved to its current Cambridge site in 2013, after earlier years elsewhere, and has since become a stable, visitor-facing home for the collection and education programme - wikipedia
# What you will see
The gallery focus is personal and practical computing: the everyday machines, consoles, software, manuals, and peripherals that shaped how ordinary people met computers for the first time - computinghistory.org.uk
Expect a “timeline you can touch” feel, spanning early calculating and office machines through home micros and onwards into games consoles and modern-era computing culture.
One signature exhibit is the Megaprocessor: a giant, walk-up-to-it physical build of a processor idea that helps make “what’s inside the chip” feel legible at human scale.
# Learning and events
CCH puts learning front and centre, with school sessions and public workshops that treat historic machines as teaching tools rather than fragile relics. - computinghistory.org.uk
There is also a steady rhythm of events and one-off activities aimed at people who want a deeper dive than a normal visit, including family-friendly sessions and enthusiast-oriented talks. - computinghistory.org.uk
# Visiting
If you are going, use the museum’s own visiting page for the current opening pattern, as it can vary between term time and school holidays. - computinghistory.org.uk
