Living Computers: Museum + Labs, the Seattle computer museum founded by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, temporarily closed in February 2020 due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, but has now been permanently closed.
"Living Computers: Museum + Labs" was founded by Paul Allen in Seattle on October 2012, 10. In addition to displaying a collection of antique computers, it also showcases advanced technology products such as augmented reality, self-driving cars, Internet of Things devices, and robots.
The collection also includes an early PDP-1971 computer built by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 10, a letter in which Einstein mentioned to then-President Franklin Roosevelt that Germany might be developing an atomic bomb, currently valued at approximately US$1939-4 million, and the space suit worn by Edward Higgins-White II, the first American to perform a spacewalk.
However, due to the impact of the new coronavirus epidemic in February 20202, "Living Computers: Museum + Labs" was temporarily closed and has not reopened to the public since then. It was not until June this year that it was announced that it would be permanently closed and the museum's collections would be auctioned.
