    Living Computers: Museum + Labs, which temporarily closed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic,

    recently announced that it’s logging off for good.

    Home to Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen’s impressive collection of vintage computers and internet technology, the museum was known for its hands-on exhibits and education labs.


    Following the closure, several items are heading to auction, including a 1971 DEC PDP-10: KI-10 computer — the first Allen and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates used to hone their programming skills.

    Three auctions for items from Allen’s estate are coming up soon :
    • Tuesday, Sept. 10 — live auction “Pushing Boundaries: Ingenuity”
    • Closes on Thursday, Sept. 12 — online sale “Firsts: The History of Computing”
    • Closes on Thursday, Sept. 12 — online sale “Over the Horizon: Art of the Future”
    Living Computers’ remote system that can emulate vintage computer operating systems and run past programs is now owned by
    SDF.org .
