Silicium is a non-profit museum which is located in Toulouse. What makes it unique and well-known is that it showcases old computers the world has used. It was founded in 1989 and drew out its inspiration of turning machines found in trashes in classic pieces.

The aim of the museum is to allow people to rediscover old computers no one will ever repair. Navigation is made easier because the system and the units are arranged in groups. Exhibitions are frequently organized in Silicium.

Because of the huge demand and interest, the organizer at Silicium finally came up with a catalogue written in French so that shipping can be made anywhere in the world.

They are the ones on display inside the museum. Items such as Outbound Laptop, Apple I, Apple II and III, Ataris, HP 87, Axel Matra MAX20E, Hanimex Pencil II, Brandt Jopac, Sega Master System and Nintendo NES are some of the corrected and revived units one can see by visiting the place.

The Silicium Museum is busy with many projects from time to time in order to present machines which today’s generation can no longer find in modern shops and stores. It also has books and software to offer. There are other old machines found in Silicium and all are diligently repaired and brought back to life.
