Crypto Museum

Welcome at the Crypto Museum website. At present we are a virtual museum in The
Netherlands, that can only be visited on the internet 24 hours a day. However,
we do have a physical collection, and regularly organise exhibitions, events and
lectures, in cooperation with other organisations.





The main goal of Crypto Museum is to preserve history. This is done by
collecting, restoring and describing historical cipher machines – such as the
well-known Enigma machine – spy radio sets, intercept receivers and and other
spy-related stuff. For a detailed explanation of why we do this, please read our
mission statement. Many of the items described on this website are part of the
Crypto Museum collection, but some have only crossed our path briefly, or are
impossible to obtain. Whenever possible, we have tried to describe the equipment
to the best of our abilities.


We are always interested in acquiring new equipment for the museum. If you have
any questions or if you have something to offer, please do not hesistate to
contact us. Your help is much appreciated. And if you want to make a donation,
financial or otherwise, please click here.

Crypto Museum is a non-subsidised privately-owned virtual museum with a physical
collection. The curators work very hard to bring an interesting and diverse
collection together, to describe the various items in great detail, and to share
this information with the rest of the world. If you are pleased with the
information provided on this website, please consider making a donation.
