Museum gains national quality standard

mla

The Museum has just been officially awarded Provisional Accredited Status by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA). The MLA’s Museum Accreditation Scheme sets nationally agreed standards for all museums in the UK.

The Museum of Computing’s award proves that it measures up, meeting the guidelines on how it is run, how it looks after its collections and the services it provides its visitors. Andrew Motion, Chair of MLA, said: “Being awarded Accreditation is an impressive achievement. It recognises the high standard and service that the Museum of Computing provides and acknowledges the hard work of the volunteers.”

Hackspace

HacksiteWe're looking at the possibility of starting a 'Hackspace' at the museum in Swindon town centre.

A Hackspace (or Hackerspace) is a place where like-minded people with an interest in technology (electronics, computers, robotics, programming, electronic art etc.) can get together, collaborate, share ideas and resources and make really cool stuff!

If you are interested, or know somebody who might be interested then please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will send you a very short questionnaire to see how much interest there is.
