Most of us take technology for granted these days - after all, owning a smartphone means having the entire world at the palm of your hand 24/7. What about all those decades of technological development and progress that resulted in people walking around with tiny computers in their pockets?
PEEK&POKE is a place dedicated to computer history - a museum with over 1000 exhibits including early computers, game consoles, old video games and gadgets of every imaginable kind. Its founders, big IT enthusiasts, wanted to create a place of gathering for other computer fans, resulting in a collection that provides valuable insight into the digital revolution.
It's an immensely fun place to visit and explore, with most devices still fully functional and available for use. Impressions will most likely depend on your age: it'll be an educational experience for millennials and younger visitors, and those a couple of generations older will be taking a trip down memory lane. Get ready for a serious wave of nostalgia!
