Museo histórico de la informática

This 'museum' should better be called a trash storage. In fact, it is only a regretable collection of obsolete (70's-90's) machinery, mostly old machines from the same institution's departaments, which somebody had the 'bright idea' of grouping them togheter and call it museum instead of paying the cost of moving them to a trash dump or recycling center. There is not a single interesting piece for you to see, unless you are interested in ancient educational mainframe machinery, of course. Anyway, there will be nobody there to explain you what those gadgets were for, which is most annoying. Fortunately, entrance is free, but if you are forced to go to that campus -far away from anywhere- you can use your time more wisely (for instance, walking and seeing the trees ouside). If not, don't waste your time going there: any other place in Madrid will be more interesting than that.
