The National Videogame Museum
The UK’s national cultural centre for videogames.
We think videogames are for everyone.
Here, you can explore how they are made, who makes them, and even why they are made. You can play them and make them. You can attend workshops to learn how they are made. You can discover careers within the UK’s fastest growing creative industry.
Our doors are currently closed, but we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
We’re gearing up right now to offer you more ways to play and learn at home, so watch this space for more news on our lockdown activities!
