I wish it had some public funding as it is the only museum in Rijeka worth a visit on a monthly basis.
It's really neat to see the history of computing, considering how near-time history it all is. Great displays and information. Almost too much to take in. Take a tour to get the highlights then wander back for the details.
Well, just get around and your face will be iluminated by a nice felling ... also there is a toy museum. It takes a while to see completly ... lots of old units from anytime ... I found the sinclair zx81 that i bought in 1983 (more or less ... i was around 11 or 12). Great!
So, if you buy the ticket (20 kn or roughly 2.90 euros) you get the entrance to the next door's childhood museum too. Absolutely great value! In peek&poke you can see all sorts of old, outdated computers, but even new iPhone and iPad. It's a bit crammed, but the whole museum is actually quite fun to explore. Next door is the childhood museum with the big scaled model of the National theater in Zagreb made of lego bricks at the very entrance. Then you have all sorts of toys and memorabilia from childhood which different people donated to the museum. The both museums are a work of an enthusiast and sadly aren't publicly funded.
This is one of the best museums where I have ever been! I heard so many interesting stories and historical facts about development of computers (and also about calculators). You will see also the first Macintosh (1984) there and a lot of other amazing computer brands. Their collection is really impressive! Definitely worth to visit both Peek&Poke museums - computer and childhood that are next to each other :)
Sinclair C5s, an enormous lego model of Zagreb theatre, a collection of old board games, what's not to like.
Although the museum is small and there isn't enough room for the exhibits, it's interesting to see all of the gadgets on display -- old computers, calculators, video gaming consoles, and more. When the video gaming consoles are turned on, it is especially fun, since you're allowed to play! The only thing the museum lacks are more detailed descriptions, timelines would be great.
Fantastic if you like old computers and games. Quite a small museum but you get to walk through the ages of old computer and end up in a section where you can play all the old computer consuls such as Nintendo n64 and older plus nintari. Well worth a visit.
