This 3D virtual tour has been made possible thanks to funding from the MK Community Foundation’s COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund, which provided grants to local charities, while the museum’s doors were closed through the pandemic.

Wherever you live, you can now journey through the history of modern computing from its very beginnings to the present day at TNMOC - from the comfort of your PC or device. You can stroll through our virtual Museum – unguided or with one of the Museum’s experts for a live, virtual tour where you will gain first-hand insight and knowledge about the 50,000 artefacts in the Museum’s unique collection.

Created in association with Venue View Virtual Tours and interpretation specialist Blended Past, TNMOC has built the virtual tour to bring the Museum’s interactive learning and experiences to life on a global scale. The tour can be accessed on desktop, tablet, mobile or even using a virtual reality headset. The tours contain images, videos, documents and other interactive elements – available for free here.

The Museum will also offer a paid-for virtual curated tour for ten people, offering a more personal experience, with details on how to book this available here soon.
