The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) is home to the world's largest collection of working historic computers.
Recognised as one of England’s top 100 ‘irreplaceable places’, follow the development of computing from the ultra-secret pioneering efforts of the 1940s, through the large systems and mainframes of the 1950s-70s, to the rise of personal computing in the 1980s and beyond.
We aim to open to the public Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday - 10:30am - 16:30pm during Winter hours (extended to 17:00pm during Summer hours) - but please check our Days Open page before planning your visit.
We recommend you BOOK ONLINE in advance of your visit (booking fee will apply) but we also welcome visitors on the day.
Why not plan a visit to our world leading computing museum? We offer individual, family, and annual tickets and we are easy to reach by public transport or car.
Whether you are a business organisation or a private group of friends, we tailor your group visit to fit your requirements, and you will benefit from the knowledge of our highly experienced, friendly tour guides.
Computable90 - Academic Engagement & Conference
Celebrating Alan Turing’s first and foremost idea
In 1936, Alan Turing’s seminal paper ‘On computable numbers, with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem’ was published by the London Mathematical Society. Ninety years on, the significance of the work done by Turing remains undiminished. It occupies a unique position of ongoing relevance in the fields of symbolic logic, number theory, problem complexity, computer science and more. In wider social terms, its impact on the development of computing is without parallel.
The National Museum of Computing and the London Mathematical Society are honoured to be able to facilitate a major international conference on the ideas and influences prompted by Alan Turing’s ground-breaking 1936 paper published in the Proceedings of the LMS. The world’s leading research mathematicians, philosophers and thinkers – all working in fields which have arisen from the original ‘Computable Numbers’ idea back in 1936 – will present their work and explain how ideas imagined 90 years ago have relevance today.
At the iconic Bletchley Park Fellowship Auditorium, 16-18 September 2026
