We encourage visitors to take photos and record video for personal and social media memories. Be sure to use #computermuseumofamerica whenever posting. There are a few selfie stations located throughout the museum. In the Tribute to Apollo exhibit, guests can record friends and family in slow motion on the surface of the moon where it appears they are in zero gravity.  In another spot, snap a picture next to the IBM Summit graphic while appearing to be on the raised floor at the Oak Ridge National Laboratories. Ask any CMoA staff member or volunteer for help locating these photo opportunities.

CMoA is located on one floor with wide enough spaces for wheelchair, walker, or cane use. Seating is available throughout.

Artifact donations must be submitted online for review and evaluation by the collections team prior to accepting.
