Default Re: Museums

In a few weeks' time I may have an opportunity to spend a weekend down-country, somewhere around Biggleswade. While I'm there I plan to take in two museums I have never had the opportunity to visit, namely:

The National Museum Of Computing (Bletchley)

The Centre For Computing History (Cambridge)

I assume the first either is, or is as close to being, the 'official' national museum of computing. The second seems more like an independent affair but looks to have a good range of exhibits including plenty from the seventies / eighties home-computer era which I am interested in.

One thing I've never been very clear about is the relationship between TNMOC and its on-site partner Bletchley Park, (as in the historic codebreaking centre). Can these be visited as one entity, or are they completely separate?
