About
The first Belgian computer museum opens in Namur. It tells an unbelievable odyssey that leads from the early calculating machines to your smartphone. These days, everything is transformed and transmitted numerically. All the informations are processed by computer software using the binary format: zeroes and ones, and by electronic machines: from computers to connected objects. These machines count because they indeed compute! But they also count because they are precious to explain the history of computing! The Computer Museum NAM-IP opens its doors with a permanent exhibition titled: “at the numerical roots: machines that count”. From Octobre 2018 to June 2019, the exhibiton "Old-inateurs des Sixties" presents mainframes from sixties. These huge old computers have disappeared from the modern IT landscape.
Duration: 1-2 hours

This museum is a little treasure. I discovered it by accident on google maps when visiting Namur. The exhibition is a combination of different collections (Bull, IBM, Unisys, ...) but with the 2 hour guided tour (we took the French one) this gets woven into a story going through the history of computing. I would highly recommend first following the tour and afterwards strolling through the museum, this way the collection comes to life for someone, like me, who doesn't know so much about mainframes and mini-computers. I hope more people will discover this little gem and wish the young museum a bright future.
