It appears that Patrick W. Gilmore <patrick () ianai net> said:

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.
