Were you in Atlanta last weekend to visit the Apple Pop-Up Museum as part of the Vintage Computer Festival Southeast (VCFSE)? Some Ars readers were there, and we now have some photos from them (and organizer David Greelish) to show off how it went. Put together by the Atlanta Historical Computing Society—and one member in particular, Lonnie Mimms—the VCFSE and Apple Pop-Up Museum saw more than 1,100 visitors when it opened on April 20 and 21.

We wrote about the museum and the VCFSE last month before its opening to the public. "The festival was a huge success, and my group is intending on making this an annual event," Greelish told Ars. "The Apple Pop-Up Museum is a semi-permanent one, so Lonnie Mimms and his team are deciding how to proceed, but for now, they will be arranging tours by appointment. They are also considering opening on Saturdays."

Currently, the Apple Pop-Up museum is scheduled to open again a couple more times throughout the summer to meet public demand: May 18 and June 8. "It was pretty fantastically put together all-in-all," reader and museum visitor Colm Atkins told Ars.

Atkins was kind enough to allow us to use his photos for our gallery, and Greelish sent in a few more. Hopefully, clicking through the photos below gives a pretty good idea of what future visitors can expect if they choose to check out the Apple museum's ongoing exhibit. We included a handful of photos of the general VCFSE for good measure, which included gaming displays, an original Altair, a computer-building workshop, instructional presentations, and more.
