About the museum

The Museum of the History of Computing, known as museoHC, is in Majadas de Tiétar in the province of Cáceres and is devoted to computing and video games. It sits at the entrance to the village for visitors arriving from the dual carriageway.

The collection is arranged by families of machines: large computers and supercomputers, minicomputers, microcomputers, workstations, personal computers, calculators and video games.
