☞ Visiting the History of Computing and Play The Large Scale Systems Museum and the Toy and Miniature Museum Over the past month or so I had the chance to visit two fantastic museums: the Large Scale Systems Museum (near Pittsburgh) and the National Museum of Toys and Miniatures (Kansas City). These museums showcase the twin histories of computing and play. These areas intersect explicitly when it comes to games, but also much more informally, as playfulness is something that has long been part.
