This Museum Is (Not) Obsolete is an interactive museum in Ramsgate dedicated to experimental and obsolete scientific and musical technology. It was launched in 2020 by musician and inventor Sam Battle, also known as Look Mum No Computer, who drives the museum's mission to keep the 'obsolete' alive and evolving. Visitors can explore unusual equipment setups, including the Powertran Transcendent 2000, and catch regular sessions such as Tuesdays With Mitch and livecoding the church organ with Alvaro. It suits anyone curious about vintage technology, music and invention. The museum sits in Ramsgate, Thanet, Kent, close to Ramsgate station (0.6 miles) and Ramsgate Sands beach (0.4 miles), with 85 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
