Museu de Informática

Welcome to the Informatics Museum

Greetings, tech enthusiasts, history buffs, students, educators, and all curious minds alike. We are excited to welcome you to the Computer Science and Engineering Museum, a unique repository dedicated to preserving the rich history and showcasing the evolution of information systems technology. Our mission is to provide an immersive experience that highlights the progression of the digital age, where the present meets the past in a symphony of silicon, bytes, and data.

Our museum presents a golden opportunity for both current and prospective students of computer science and engineering. It offers an invaluable perspective on how our present technology has evolved over the decades. Here, you will be able to walk through the different eras of computing, observing and interacting with vintage mainframes, retro personal computers, and more. Witnessing this transition from antiquity to modernity can inspire a profound understanding of our field, opening up a vista of endless opportunities for exploration and innovation.

We also extend a warm invitation to high school student groups, who are welcome to schedule guided tours of our exhibits. The tours are designed to inspire young minds and provoke questions about the future of technology, based on an understanding of its past. Furthermore, we are grateful for any contributions to our museum in the form of donations. These generous gifts allow us to continuously enrich our collection and, in turn, our ability to educate and inspire. It is a great pleasure for us to see our visitors reconnect with a past technology they once used, and equally gratifying to see younger visitors fascinated by the ‘ancestors’ of their sleek modern gadgets.

With a vibrant mix of education and nostalgia, we aim to offer a unique and memorable museum experience. Whether you’re an ardent technophile, a student keen on understanding the roots of today’s digital world, or someone seeking to revisit the memory of the field, the Computer Science and Engineering Museum awaits your visit. Welcome, and enjoy the journey through the annals of computing history!
