The National Videogame Museum is the UK’s only museum dedicated solely to videogames with a mission to collect, preserve, exhibit and interpret videogames for everyone. Forever.

Star objects on display shine a spotlight on gaming culture and history, while children and adults alike can discover the importance of videogame preservation through playable exhibits. Play arcade classics like Donkey Kong and Space Invaders, battle it out between old rivals Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario, or join family and friends in a variety of multiplayer games. Work together or compete with favourites like Track & Field, Rockband, or Sheffield’s own party game Gang Beasts or even discover games made exclusively for the NVM like Super Snowball Fight Party, a six-player game created by the Museum’s own creative engineer!

Sheffield's strong game heritage is also celebrated in the Museum, hosting games from the city and surrounding Yorkshire areas. Favourites include Sumo Digital’s Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing, Gremlin Graphics’ Zool and Team 17’s Worms.

The National Videogame Museum also welcomes school trips that include optional STEAM based activities and workshops, while birthday parties and private hires are also popular events available for bookings.

Come Play The Museum - perfect for videogame fans and those interested in its culture of all ages.
