Stuttgart Computer Museum (Computermuseum der Stuttgarter Informatik) is a collection of calculators, mechanical calculating machines, and analog and digital computers at the Vaihingen campus of University of Stuttgart, Germany established in 1997.[1]

Highlights of the collection include several DEC PDP-8 and DEC PDP-11 models, an IBM 1130, and a LGP-30 vacuum tube-based computer. Many items in the collection are in fully working condition and are available for demonstrations.[2][3] Since 2020, the museum has hosted a virtual event series called "Evenings at the Computer Museum," showcasing various exhibits and demonstrating their functionality.[4]
