The Computer Games Museum in Friedrichshain is the world's first museum of its kind, taking visitors on a journey through 70 years of gaming history. Over 300 playable exhibits, an arcade hall, and changing special exhibitions make Sundays an experience for all generations.
The Computer Games Museum Berlin: Where History is Played
The Computer Games Museum on Karl-Marx-Allee in Friedrichshain is the world’s first permanent museum dedicated exclusively to video and computer games. It was founded in 1997. Since 2011, it has been housed in the former Café Warschau. With this, Berlin has not only saved a piece of gaming history but also anchored it directly on one of the city’s most distinctive boulevards.
The museum houses over 25,000 games and applications, as well as more than 300 exhibits from over 70 years of gaming history. Most of them are interactive and playable. So, no reverent viewing behind glass cases, but rather actually touching, playing, and marveling. Originals such as the Atari Pong machine, the first Commodore home computer, the first Nintendo Game & Watch, and the original PlayStation stand for themselves.
Sunday Program with Depth
In addition to the permanent exhibition, a special exhibition with its own game stations regularly runs. Special exhibitions are always included in the normal admission price. This is good because it means there is always something new to discover with each visit.
Adults pay €12, the reduced rate for students, trainees, and retirees is €8. Special rates are available for families and groups. Due to limited visitor capacity, the museum recommends online reservations. Open daily from 10:00 to 20:00 – even when Sunday offers no ideas of its own.
