The Computer Museum was founded by Gordon and Gwen Bell in 1975 and started as a closet-sized exhibit at
     Digital Equipment Corporation. In 1979 it officially became an exhibition site operated by DEC in Marlboro,
   Massachusetts. It opened to the public in 1984 when the museum was moved to downtown Boston. In 1998, the
     museum was relocated to Silicon Valley and has been reborn as the current Computer History Museum in
     Mountain View, California. Read Gordon’s story of The Computer Museum’s evolution here.
