The Science Museum has revealed plans to host two exhibitions devoted to the history of computing with help from Google.
Due to open at the London institution in June next year, the first exhibition will celebrate the centenary of English mathematician and computing pioneer Alan Turing's birth.
The second collaborative effort will be a permanent exhibition opening in summer 2014 that has been named Making Modern Communications. It will explore the development of IT and communications over the last 200 years.
Google has agreed to help fund the projects as part of the $12 million (£7.7 million) grant programme for British and American science museums it announced earlier this year.
"Both of us hope to inspire young people to follow paths into the science, technology and engineering that are transforming modern culture," said director of the Science Museum Ian Blatchford.
Other museums due to receive funding from Google include the New York Hall of Science and the Museum of Mathematics in New York.
