A museum that preserves, shares and promotes computer culture through entertaining touring exhibitions.

A Journey into the Golden Age of Home Computing

Step into a pixelated time machine and rediscover the golden era of home computing with I love 8-bit® – a touring exhibition that has already charmed audiences at over 30 venues across Finland and beyond. Celebrating the nostalgia, culture, and innovation of 1980s computing, this exhibition has proven to be a crowd favourite everywhere it has been hosted.

From blinking cursors to cassette-loading games, I love 8-bit® brings back the magic of early personal computers – Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, MSX, Amstrad CPC, and many others – in a hands-on, visually engaging setting. Visitors of all ages are invited to play, explore, and remember. Whether you’re a lifelong enthusiast or encountering these iconic machines for the first time, the exhibition offers something for everyone.

The show that entertains and delights 

Since its debut, I love 8-bit® has been met with enthusiasm from libraries, cultural centers, museums, festivals, and educational institutions. With over 30 successful installations, the exhibition has reached tens of thousands of visitors and received praise for its engaging content and broad appeal. It brings generations together: parents share stories of their youth with children, while younger audiences are fascinated by the retro charm and tactile interfaces of 8-bit technology.

Each version of the exhibition is tailored to its venue – whether a compact 20-square-meter pop-up or a full-room setup with multiple interaction points. This flexibility has made I love 8-bit® easy to host in a wide range of locations, requiring minimal technical setup.
