Really interesting (after we had been to next-door Bletchley Park) to see how Colossus was recreated, and the gestation of all modern day computing through time. Great to see the machine of my (learning and teaching) youth - Sinclairs, Commodores, BBC Micros, RML 380Z, and the others. Helpful and interesting staff. The only petty 'fault' is one of so many multi-room museums/exhibitions - there is so little to actually guide you on the 'correct' (or even the 'suggested') route through the exhibits. Their ops director should simply accompany (or walk a few steps behind) a group of first-time visitors, and see where they metaphorically stumble over the 'right' way to go... Arrows painted on the ground or walls would be a simple help!
