A new museum opening in a former metalworking factory in Warsaw brings together 1,600 exhibits linked to Apple -- the result of years of painstaking efforts by a determined Polish collector.
"It is the biggest and most complete Apple collection in the world," boasted Jacek Lupina, a 56-year-old architect, who amassed the collection spanning the entire history of the US tech giant.
At the entrance is a replica of the Apple 1, released in 1976, was the first personal computer sold by the founders of the company, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.AFP | Wojtek RADWANSKI"My aim is for visitors to be able to see what the beginning was like -- how primitive and very simple it was. The case for the Apple 1 was made of wood! Nothing like what we have today," Lupina said.
"He scrutinised all the soldering, the components and really appreciated the work. He also showed me the parts that he and Steve Jobs had wanted to change but never got round to," Lupina said.The museum includes dozens of computers such as the Apple II, Lisa, iMac, Power Mac, Macbook, Mac Pro, as well as iPhones, iPods, iPads, instruction booklets, software and other objects from the Apple universe.
Lupina said he started collecting"just for the pleasure of seeing them" and because the products would previously have been"too expensive for a resident of post-Communist Europe".
