Alan Turing: Tortured genius of the Computer Age

A printed circuit board

Alan Turing broke the Nazis’ Enigma code, almost invented the computer, and was persecuted to a painful suicide by the ungrateful authorities. A tortured genius and modern martyr.

Join this guided walk and discover Turing's story in Manchester.

Walk starts at the reception of Manchester Museum, off Oxford Road.

Concessions: students, pensioners, disability and carers
