I just discovered this museum last October. Hard to believe since I live just a fifteen minute drive away and love vintage computers! :)
I highly recommend a tour, or better yet, sign up for a workshop day! The next one is next Saturday-Sunday.

The museum prides itself on having WORKING systems! Amazing, historically important stuff! Here's a photo I took of curator Bob Roswell during his demonstration of their Xerox Alto (running Missile Command). He gave a tour of the museum while I was there for their vintage computer repair workshop January 27th.
Nice bunch of computer folk working on interesting vintage computer projects at the previous computer repair workshop!
I got some recapping done for my Viewsonic VX922 flat panel display for my NeXTstation Turbo Color while I was there, and met a lot of fellow vintage computer enthusiasts!
It's otherworldly, and delightful, to be able to work on a computer monitor while seated about ten yards from a WWII Enigma machine and not much farther from an original Apple Lisa and Apple 1 amongst hundreds of other fascinating computers on display!
