Mimms Museum of Technology and Art in Roswell, GA, will open the doors to its iNSPIRE: 50 Years of Innovation from Apple exhibition on Wednesday, April 1. The exhibit organizers say this is a first-of-its-kind exhibition and will feature more than 2,000 artifacts across 20,000 square feet. That makes it “the World’s Largest Collection of Apple Products,” according to the Mimms PR department. We’ve got some pre-opening images and details to share.
According to our research, Mimms won’t actually be showing off the world’s largest Apple hardware exhibit, though. That prize goes to the All About Apple Museum (Savona, Italy) with over 9,000 items, and a living museum area where visitors can interact with many old computers and devices. Mimms comes in second place, though!
A ribbon-cutting grand opening event for iNSPIRE is scheduled for 10am on Wednesday, with public access to the extensive artifacts and installations beginning at 12 noon.

Hard to believe it’s been 50 years since the three of us signed Apple into existence. The Apple‑1 and Apple II were just the beginning, and watching the journey since has been extraordinary. Proud to have played my part. #Apple50 @FastCompany pic.twitter.com/ceH0WjqCkz March 27, 2026
To mark this significant historical milestone, Apple will start its half-century celebrations in earnest. It even has a new Instagram account lined up for the event. However, Apple fans who’d prefer something more tangible and physical to get into a celebratory mood can visit Mimms in Roswell.

There will be oodles of hardware to see. Besides that, visitors can check out “Rare collector’s items, unique documents, and behind-the-scenes stories of Apple’s groundbreaking product.”
As a technology and art museum, Mimms isn’t just shoving a load of old tech in glass boxes, of course. The museum is promising some hands-on displays of Apple’s early computers and devices. Moreover, “immersive, creative installations inspired by Apple’s most memorable campaigns,” will be part of the visitor experience.
