The Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum

Based in Paderborn, Germany, the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum is billed as the world's largest computer museum. "The more than 2,000 exhibited objects are shown in a broad social and economic historical context, so that the exhibition is not only of interest to computer specialists," HNF explains on its site. "The forum complements the exhibition with an extensive range of events. Lectures, workshops and conferences address the far-reaching influence of information technology on people and society. The Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum is supported by the Westphalia Foundation founded by Heinz Nixdorf . This primarily promotes science and teaching, especially in the field of information technology."
