Bletchley Park is great for its own exhibition, plus it has the UK's national museum of computing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_Museum_of_Compu...

There's a fine guidebook called the Geek Atlas, which should be what you're looking for. Bit US centric though: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596523213.do

Came to say the same. It's recently had a bout of lottery funding too.

They still have a running Colossus replica too - well worth a visit.

Note that the museum of computing didn't get any of that funding, and visitors to the main Bletchley park site are not told about it apart from a single sign in the lobby. Unless you know it's there you won't find it.

Oh, I forgot to mention: The Deutsches Museum in Munich, the world's largest museum of science and technology: http://www.deutsches-museum.de/index.php?id=1&L=1
