Exhibitions
The museum is usually open 3 days a week (please check museum's website for the opening hours before your visit) with a permanent exhibition What about the software? which holistically presents interesting aspects of software from technical to social impact. It is conceptualized in a thematic and fully interactive way and will enable the public to try out many computer programs from different periods on more than 30 working machines. The oldest exhibited interactive software piece dates back to 1986.
Currently on display is also the guest exhibition The Glass Room: Misinformation Edition by Tactical Tech which is an interactive engagement exhibition that invites people to think critically and proactively about their relationship with digital technologies. How can we identify "fake news" and verify information? How does misinformation amplify on social media? How do online profiling and political influence work and affect our decisions?

The collection grew out of the Cyberpipe activities. This community hackerspace, focused on open source and other free technologies was established in 2000.
