Exhibits 2025

The heart of the festival is the exhibition full of items from all areas of historical computing. Whether analog or digital, mechanical or electrical, games or serious business, with tubes and transistors or simply on paper: there will be something exciting for everyone in the variety of objects on display.

At its core, the VCFZH is a hands-on festival. Most of the exhibits invite you to touch and operate them, and the exhibitors will help and answer questions. Again, our challenges will provide an overview of each station and ideas for getting involved.

Below is a selection of the exhibits, but we won’t reveal everything here just yet. Come along and see for yourself!
