The Personal Computer Museum is located in Brantford , Ontario , Canada . Located in a former Church , the museum has been completely renovated. Over forty interactive Personal Computer s are on display from a wide variety of manufacturers, including Apple Computer , Atari , Commodore , IBM , Radio Shack , Timex , Mattel and more. The mandate of the museum is to preserve computer technology and more importantly, offer interactivity with these machines. Parents are welcome to bring children and show them computers that they may have used to understand where the technology that they use today, so freely, actually came from. The museum offers a large selection of original software in its library as well as a huge archive of computer related magazines. A perfect research centre, the museum is open to students to study the origins of computers and the various technologies behind them. Currently open to the public only one day a month, the museum welcomes private tours from schools or other groups and admission is absolutely free. The museum was first opened to the public in September, 2005 . Its founder and curator, Syd Bolton, has been involved in the personal computer industry for years and dreamed of opening a museum while still in high school. The museum is run by Bolton and a group of dedicated volunteers. DISPLAYS
