My understanding is that really is IMP No. 1. Someone found it in the “to be scrapped” pile & rescued it, then they closed off room 3420 & made it a micro-museum. I believe the teletype is not the original, but is a real ASR-33. The Sigma 7 is a prop, I believe.
The IMP is real, as are some of the notebooks. Everything else is a prop. The terminal isn't even a model 33, it's a model 32 which says ITT in large letters so you know it was retired from Telex service, not computing. But it's definitely worth a visit, particularly if Len Kleinrock is around to give his spiel about "LO" the first message. https://uclaconnectionlab.org/internet-museum/ R's, John
