I too was in Boston this spring looking for the Computer Museum.
I went to the MOS before I attempted to see the Computer Museum and
thus did not know that it had relocated until later when I visited the
former site of the Computer Museum.
Sadly I did not find the computer exhibits in the MOS.

link to the Computer Section of the Boston MOS, which ultimately came up
with nowt to say what had happened. Here's the link:

Indeed so.
I only found out when I went to the
Children's Museum, which was next to the Computer Museum.....most
disappointed I was.
Fortunately, I found out just before my visit to Boston in
September 1999.
I mailed them afterwards asking what had
happened
and all they could say was the collection still exists.
Helpful, that.
Hasn't it been shipped to California? The Computer Museum
History Centre? Moffat Field? Or am I getting confused?
