The University of Tartu Computer Museum opened in 2009 and now has many exciting exhibits gathered in one space. The museum's aim is to show the development of computing in Estonia, from the first electronic computer in 1959, the Urals, to the digital e-commerce we are used to today. The museum has a number of rarities, such as the Ural electronic computer nameplate and selected Ural components. There is also a console from a Soviet-era mainframe, the Estonian-made personal computer Juku and other computers in use in Estonia at the time. The museum's collection also includes several older Apple devices and, for example, a supercomputer that was once one of the 500 most powerful computers in the world. We invite individuals and institutions to donate computer equipment to add to the museum's collection. We are in the process of putting together an exhibition on the development of mobile phones and anyone can bring their old mobile phone in good condition to the museum.
