About
Established in 1997, the Computerspielemuseum in Berlin is the world’s first permanent video‑game museum, housed in the historic former Café Warschau on Karl‑Marx‑Allee. Visitors are taken on a journey through the evolution of digital play, from early Pong and Computer Space cabinets to the iconic PainStation and a wall of hardware that spans seven decades. The museum’s interactive displays feature rare original cartridges, console systems, gaming art, and themed exhibitions that illustrate how video games have shaped popular culture over time. With guided tours, free entry for certain groups, and a vibrant collection of over 30,000 items, it is a must‑visit destination for gaming enthusiasts, families, and history lovers alike.
