The National Videogame Museum

At the National Videogame Museum in Sheffield, the exhibits are made to be played, not just looked at. More than 100 playable displays let visitors experience how video games have changed, from classic arcade machines to modern consoles, while exploring the technology and creativity behind them. The collection preserves thousands of objects from gaming history, including rare hardware, development materials and memorabilia. Alongside its playable games, the museum hosts changing exhibitions, workshops and projects exploring how games are made, who creates them and the role they play in culture.
