#3Near my hometown in NL there’s a similar place, the Home Computer Museum and just like the one on Leicester they turn the computers on with games and BASIC and foxpro and protracker running and it’s just a delight. The collection is huge, I was pretty impressed. Went there with my kids the other day and it was just great. Worth a detour!

I've been twice to the one in Berlin, and it's absolutely gorgeous. It's such a great place full of machines and arcades you can actually play with.

On a game/arcade/Europe tangent also check out flippermuseum in Budapest if you love pinball. I chanced across it when I was there a few years ago and it is awesome

Many great retro consoles, computers. I am most happy with the opportunity to play on a real asteroid with a vector display.

There is also the vintage computing festival [0] which is absolutely great!
You have people showing their homebrew computers (some even with completely homebrew CPUs!), old homecommputers from east and west, mainframes, workstations and game consoles of the past.
And the people who bring those machines are always quite eager to answer all questions you might have. It's a lovely event really.

Not computers, but for arcade flippers there is also Flipperhalle [0]
