The idea of establishing a Cyber-Museum appeared in 1995. As the first major Museum exhibition held in 2007 in Murom historical and art Museum. The exposure is then visited by 1,000 people. Official date of creation of the Museum is September 2, 2008.

Today the name BK-0010, agate, UKNC, Christa, DCK or spectrum to the younger generation, not an issue. But almost to the middle of 1990-ies in our country worked on these computers, and only since the mid 90's IBM computers permanently replaced them. Cyber-Museum gives its visitors the opportunity to explore the history of the computer industry and learn how it all began...

In March 2012 Cyber Museum moved to new premises, where today it represents about five hundred exhibits about the history of the domestic and global computing — from her first faltering steps to its rapid development in our time.

The Museum's collection, its founder, Victor Kupriyanov, collected nearly fifteen years. Here you can see everything from "Agate", computers and Spectrum to laptops, from punch cards to flash drives, from calculators the size of a large book to tiny modern copies. There are also already become "rare" cell phones that appeared in the 90-ies of the last century – a huge "Nokia", "Siemens", the first digital cameras.

Most of the exhibits are in working condition, so visitors can remember their youth by playing the old game "tank battle" or "Tetris" or the black and white screen to admire the first version of Windows or MS-DOS. Especially advanced can even try to remember how to write the simplest program in the language basic or Fortran.

The greatest value in the Museum are: a collection of computers, a collection of calculators, a collection of devices for reading and storing information. The Museum collection is constantly updated.

Schoolchildren, students of colleges and universities can always find here useful specialized literature, which is impossible to find even in libraries.

The exposition is divided into several topics: form factors of motherboards, evolution of processors, the evolution of calculators, the evolution of graphics cards, the evolution of storage media, input devices, evolution of HDD drives, IBM-compatible and non compatible computers form factors of laptops, peripherals.

There are also stands from his personal collection: cameras of the 20th century, cell phones of the late 20th century.
