Event Details

The Museum of the Human Web exhibit is a limited-run pop-up celebrating the people who built the internet before AI got here. Across seven exhibits, visitors can see artifacts spanning several decades: early computing tech, an original Macintosh SE and IBM 5150, the Pets.com sock puppet, a BlackBerry Bold, rare books and documents, and dozens more fun items.​ ​The Museum of the Human Web was created by Parallel Web Systems in partnership with the Computer History Museum, Internet Archive, and eBay.

FREE and open to the public May 8th–16th, 9am – 5pm. For more information visit museum.parallel.ai

The first visitors each day receive a limited-edition keepsake, and select artifacts will be given away in a sweepstakes with proceeds benefiting the Internet Archive and Computer History Museum.

About Parallel Web Systems: Parallel is the infrastructure powering how AI agents access and use the open web.
