Special Museum Shop Opening

Open on 19th December for one-time opening

We (currently) don’t know if we’ll be able to open later this month. But should Sheffield be taken down to Tier 2, we will be open from Saturday 19th and throughout the Christmas period. More details on that to come soon!

However, we’re not going down without a fight. We are going to be opening up the Museum shop on the 19th December, from 10am – 6pm. Even if we’re still in Tier 3!

Want to pick up those last minute stocking fillers for the game lovers in your life?

We’ve got loads of gaming related gifts for you to pick up. Sadly, we don’t have a PS5 or an Xbox Series X in stock either, but you can still pick up lots of gaming goodies!

Best of all? Every penny supports us in our mission to preserve videogames for everyone, forever.

Visit our Gift Shop for a range of quality souvenirs and gifts.

The NVM Gift Shop offers books, stationery, drinkware, apparel and more to anyone looking for a souvenir of their visit, or for a unique and interesting gift.

Our gaming gifts are inspired by our gallery exhibitions, allowing you to bring a piece of the Museum home with you.
