Apple has been defining technology for 50 years, and a museum is ready to commemorate it for the anniversary. On April 1, the Mimms Museum of Technology and Art will open an extensive exhibit that showcases the products that made Apple the tech juggernaut it is today.

The exhibit, called iNspire: 50 years of Innovation from Apple, will feature over 2,000 Apple items across a 20,000-square-foot space in Roswell, Georgia. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. local time for those who can attend. 

On its website, Mimms describes the exhibit as an "interactive and immersive experience showcasing rare Apple artifacts, groundbreaking products and behind-the-scenes stories."

Mimms is promising an interactive experience to attendees, allowing them to get hands-on time with some of the products that Apple has produced over the years. Expect prototypes, devices, documents and more as you enter the world that Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created.

Apple has gone from underdog to icon, creating a culture of diehard fans from the Apple-1 to the latest iPhone 17E. That said, Apple is just as divisive as it is praised. This type of divide shows just how much of an impact the company has had on the world since its inception.

According to Tom's Hardware, the latest exhibit won't be "the largest" collection of Apple artifacts as Mimms says it is -- that title goes to the All About Apple Museum in Savona, Italy, which hosts over 9,000 items from Apple's history. That's a number that's hard to argue with.Â
