The Computerspielemuseum in Berlin is the first of its kind in Europe. Its celebration of the many (leisurely) avenues of computers makes it a fun way to tour a museum. It’s a great cultural alternative for those who find themselves shying away from the hefty information overload of regular museums .

Some might think having a whole institution dedicated to the art, enjoyment and general craft of computer games might be unnecessary, but this hugely important part of contemporary culture cannot be ignored. If anything, it should be celebrated. The Computerspielemuseum is an excellent tool to deepen our understanding of these fascinating complex mechanisms.

With its first fixed exhibition dating back to 1997, this institution dedicated to the interactive world of technological entertainment has been riding the evolution of this medium for almost two decades. Since opening its doors, it has not only exhibited nationally, but internationally as well.

The pieces that make up its exhibitions are thanks to the Association for the Advancement of Youth and Social Work, a non-profit organization that has worked tirelessly to put together a stellar collection for 13 years. With these various components in tow, Gameshouse gGmbH is able to successfully run Computerspielemuseum and make it what it is today.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.
