THE CODE BREAKING INSTITUTION Bletchley Park has received a donation of £1m from technology personage Matt Crotty.
The money goes to the National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) at Bletchley Park, a place where old computers are curated and looked after.
The donation must be matched and will drip into TNMOC as the organisation raises matching funds.
"To help the development of a museum such as this is an exceptional opportunity that comes once in a lifetime. I have watched this organisation grow and make astonishing achievements with very limited funding," said TNMOC trustee Crotty.
