BBC Micro Computer and Monitor

We have a 1980s BBC Micro Computer and Monitor in our Technology through Time Collection.

BBC Micro Computers were a range of computers which were designed and built by Acorn during the 1980s and 90s. They were designed to support the BBC's "Computer Literacy Project", and as a result, were used in British primary and secondary schools.

They were a very popular domestic computer, giving children and adults alike the opportunity to learn to program at home, as well as of course enjoying a range of games!
