Umm I've been to Bletchley and NMOC twice and although the latter does have the particularly interesting live demos of the restored/recreated Colossus etc, it's completely wrong to say the "main" museum complex doesn't have much about the technical/crypto aspects.

If anything I'd say it's the other way around - there are exhibits on the way of life etc but the majority of them are on the cryptology and the approach the people working there took etc. I'm wondering if you accidentally missed one or two of the buildings.




I'm strongly in agreement with you. I thought the main museum was fascinating. You could only find it "boring" if you have no curiosity about the history of world war two or you just don't care about the human impact of the war on the communities and the people it affected.
