Instead of static displays, ICM brings vintage machines to life through interactive exhibits, allowing visitors to experience the evolution of technology firsthand. The museum blends retro hardware with modern enhancements, creating a bridge between computing’s earliest days and today’s digital world.

Note: The museum is open Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.
