Computer History Museum is a non-profit organization headquartered in the US. Founded in 1999, it employs approximately 150 individuals. The organization functions as a museum and historical site, focusing on the preservation and presentation of the history of computing.
On July 22, 2026, the Computer History Museum revealed it secured over $14 million in new funding from a donor identified as Mad Scientists Anonymous. The museum will use this capital to overhaul its computer graphics gallery, safeguard the archive of Autodesk co-founder John W. Walker, and bankroll a series of rotating exhibits, along with the preservation and digitization of Walker's papers for researchers and the public. This detailed announcement followed the museum's initial disclosure on July 14, 2026, of receiving "transformative gifts" totaling more than $14 million to honor Walker, a key figure in defining modern digital design and cofounder of Autodesk. Previously, on July 15, the museum hosted a performance by the Googler Orchestra, an ensemble of Alphabet employees. Earlier in July, on July 7, the museum presented "The Silicon Gold Rush," a program exploring the impact of AI chips and cloud companies designing custom silicon. In June, on June 15, the museum held its annual Vintage Computer Festival, showcasing historical computers and offering hands-on demonstrations.
