It was a fun exhibit, and as always, the curators gave additional insights to the collection. My highlight was seeing a Curta Calculator, a fascinating bit of the history of calculators. I'd read about them many times, but had never seen one. I do wish they had videos of the operation of the various devices. My 12 and 15 year old also enjoyed the exhibit, in particular the various typewriters. It's a pleasant way to spend an hour.
