Visit the museum
Musée Bolo is freely accessible from Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
You start with Programmed disappearance, an original and provocative exhibition that tells the story of computer science in a different way.
Then you can admire our permanent exhibition, perhaps with a touch of nostalgia, the museum’s flagship products: Swiss microcomputers and mammoth computers, including several Cray computers.
The Biowall and Blue Gene/P are generally activated during events or upon prior request when signing up for a guided tour.
Immerse yourself in an educational and fun universe by taking part in a guided tour.
- Guided tours are paying and can last between 1 and 2 hours.
- The language of the visits is French. (English-speaking guide on request).
- The money is used to finance the Museum’s various activities.
