The National Videogame Museum

The National Videogame Museum is the UK’s only museum dedicated solely to videogames, celebrating and interrogating their history and culture over the last 50 years. The Museum features over 100 playable exhibits, from retro arcade machines to modern games consoles, alongside unique exhibitions which are carefully curated by our team of experts.

We preserve 5,000 objects of videogame heritage for future generations through our collection. The NVM is the primary focus of the British Games Institute (BGI), our governing charity, that aims to educate the public on the art, science and technology of videogames.

Our aim is to create innovative and inclusive ways to engage diverse audiences in the collection, and to confront many of the accessibility challenges that videogames present with a particular focus on under-represented communities.

The NVM's mission is to collect, preserve, exhibit and interpret videogames for everyone. Forever.
