Tim Berners-Lee was originally in the office on the right (with the below sign on it) and then moved to the one on the left with the world’s first web server, at CERN in Switzerland / France (technically on the French side).
There’s no marking or anything on the doors, and they’re just used as normal offices by CERN. The people inside looked confused we were so excited to be there and taking pictures.


















Not many people know the web started in France. That’s a favorite bit of trivia.
Wait… you’re saying it wasn’t AL Gore here in the US? Say it ain’t so.

So technically CERN doesn’t have a border, it’s both and neither both countries, but if you drew a line through it the building would be on the French side.
History is made in the most interesting of places.
Great piece of trivia!
Not to be confused with ARPANET.
He writes too!

CERN was for me always a great source of knowledge and inspiration.
Wow. It’s just a simple room (from the outside)
Holy Grail!
i didn’n know the internet was born at CERN… And I’ve never thought before there is a place where internet was born!
Yes, interestingly enough, CERN is all of that as you say. I discovered this when I was blogging about Quantum Physics, Astrophysics and Technology. They apparently are integrated into many fields of science

From humble beginnings, something amazing emerges. So if that is where the internet was created (I think Al Gore was sleeping in the hallway..), I want to see a picture of the room where WordPress was created….
Cool!
