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.
