Did anyone else than me get to visit Hogia's PC museum in Stenungsund? It was open for public between 1993 and 1998 or so. Since then they keep a vintage computer section on their homepage, but don't have items positioned for display anymore.
There are a few private collectors in the country who have expressed a desire to one day have an exhibit of their collection, but I strongly doubt it will happen.
Cool, I live in a "suburb" to Linköping... And work in Mjärdevi.Hello i am from Ostergotland Linkoping
Yes, IT-ceum isn't much fun...The museum is a bit of a disappointment, I went there this fall with a few friends. The exhibit on the Datasaab is excellent and they have an Altair (which I had never seen in real life before) and a few interesting Swedish micros. The "Besk" computer was not there as advertised and the museum was kind of small.
Anyway, the superb aeronautic museum made the trip worthwhile.

But they apparently have quite a big storage room full of old computers and video games.
I'm working on it!Cool, you should try and befriend the staff and try to get a peek inside the storage
I've been thinking about something like that... Either starting a new museum or just make an exhibit anywhere I can...Do you mean starting a new museum or make an exhibit in an existing museum (such as Tekniska Museet)?
I was thinking about people like Bo (?) at Datasalen and Rune's PC-Museum. I believe both, or at least Rune has expressed a desire to at some time make an exhibition out of his collection. Probably not a permanent one, but with enough room... There are several collectors of old cars, which frankly take much more space than even a PDP mini computer, who have converted old barn houses and alike to live museums, taking visitors part or all of the year. Perhaps a private computer museum can be open for public once per month, Sat-Sun.
