Well, there may not be much *code* in museums, but there certainly are 
plenty of ancient computing devices in them, including chunks of 
Babbage's creations, Pascal's calculator, "Napier's Bones", and 
calculating devices retrieved from shipwrecks in the Mediterranean that 
date back before the birth of Jesus. Then there's Stonehenge and the 
Mayan calendar. ;)
