Since it is not always possible (particularly at present) to visit museums in person having a museum that exists entirely online can be quite handy... The Museum of Retro Technology is a work of almost encyclopaedic proportions that encompasses all that is strange, weird, bizarre, or just downright odd in the history of mechanical engineering. LINK Like all good museums it manages to educate and entertain in equal measure.
