The Computer History Museum

The  Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif.,finally finished a two-year, $19 million renovation and reopened to the public this week.

To mark the reopening, the museum installed a new permanent show called “Revolution: The First 2000 Years of Computing.” The exhibit showcases a number of groundbreaking and fascinating moments in nerd history, and it offers a visual timeline of the supercomputer.

The photos here show a few images from the show, which follows computing from the “abacus to the smartphone.” Also present when the museum reopened were computer luminaries, including Steve Wozniak, one of the co-founders of Apple Computer, and Al Acorn, inventor of the video game Pong.
