At present it is difficult to conceive of a scientific advance of any specialty without the help of computer. You too, are few areas of daily life in which a programmer can not use, an integrated circuit or other proprietary technologies of computing. The development has accelerated exponentially since the second half of the twentieth century and today we enjoy countless possibilities without being aware of its origins and its rapid evolution. This recreational and educational exhibition presents a comprehensive picture of the evolution of computing through major events, relevant characters and objects and key devices in the history of computing. The exhibition contains more than 200 valuable pieces, from the collection of Francisco Arnanz. Between them, visitors can discover the original book Mathematical Theory of Communication Shannon & Weaver (1949) or appreciate the calculator MADAS (1913), a derived machine arithmometer of Colmar 1820, which allowed for, for the first time, automatically divisions.
