It is literally next door but not part of "Bletchley Park" - BP gets all of the media attention and donations from corporate sponsors etc, but TNMOC has some equally interesting stuff (including a Collosus which is one of several claiming to be "the first computer") but does not seem to get the attention it deserves.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 6y agoActually, I'd recommend to reserve a lot more time for the National Museum of Computing then Bletchley Park. I found Bletchley Park itself rather boring. "This now-empty building used to house X", or "this is what Alan Turing's office looked like" is a lot less interesting than the amazing machines in the Museum of Computing.
