My photos of a visit to the incredible Ctrl+Alt Museum retrocomputing museum in Pavia, Italy. Mind blowing.

    What a fantastic collection. Everytime I thought of a computer they needed to add, it showed up in a later photo.

    Is there any explanation for why there are racing cars in there? Is it just one wealthy collector behind all this? Some of it felt like it grew out of someone’s private collection.

      What’s even more remarkable is 95% of the items on display still work. And they have lots more in storage.

      They are car enthusiasts too, so that’s why there are some such vehicles. The bulk of the material comes from the personal collection of one of the founders of the group.
