MACWORK MUSEUM · COLLECTION
History in order.
Design that endures.
A selection of computers that transformed our relationship with technology, preserved at MacWork.
COMPUTING FOR EVERYONE
Apple IIe
Introduced in 1983, the Apple IIe brought computing into homes, classrooms, and businesses. Its expandable design, extensive software library, and long commercial life made it one of the most recognized computers in the Apple II family.
A VISION AHEAD OF ITS TIME
Apple Lisa 2
The Lisa 2 refined Apple’s vision for personal computing through a graphical interface, windows, icons, and a mouse. Its ideas paved the way for the Macintosh and helped transform how people worked with computers.
THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA
Macintosh
Introduced on January 24, 1984, the Macintosh brought the graphical interface and mouse to a new generation. Its compact design made the computer feel personal, recognizable, and approachable.
THE MAC THAT TRAVELED TO SPACE
Macintosh Portable
It was Apple’s first portable Macintosh. In 1991, it traveled aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis during mission STS-43, where the first email from space was sent.
DESIGN MADE TECHNOLOGY VISIBLE
iMac G3
The slot-loading iMac G3 continued the color revolution started by the original iMac. Its translucent enclosure made the internal components a visible part of the design and challenged what a computer was expected to look like.
More equipment from our collection is coming soon.
