The size of our collection (as of October 2010):

Computer games have increasingly become a significant aspect of our contemporary culture, which is shaped by digital technologies to an ever growing extent. The Computer Games Museum has taken an active role in presenting the culture and the history of digital games to a wide audience by means of exhibitions, workshops on media competence, events and publications. Our aim is to intensify the knowledge of how digital interactive media works and to broaden our awareness for the challenges inherent in this evolution. With this social responsibility in mind the Computer Games Museum offers reduced entrance fees for adolescents, unemployed persons, families and pupils alike.
We are furthermore collecting and preserving computer games as well as the necessary hardware platforms and other artifacts connected with the games' culture in order to contribute to an understanding of these developments both today and in the future. Our prime aim is to present a collection both easily accessible and professionally documented, so that the interested public may confront this aspect of our digital heritage with our assistence.
In order to improve our performance in the fields of presenting, opening and preserving our collections the Computer Games Museum regularly initiates or contributes to scientific projects and conferences. We are striving to publish and exploit the results of these cooperations in various ways and we are complying with the guidelines for Research Integrity and Good Scientific Practice.
