The Finnish Museum of Games is getting a renovation

The Museum, now in its tenth year, will undergo a renovation in 2026. The renovation will add approximately 100 square meters of exhibition space to the museum. A nostalgic atmosphere and gaming remain the central themes of this popular museum. The Museum will close on August 3 for the renovation and reopen on October 10.

The Finnish Museum of Games is the first museum of gaming in Finland, and one of the first ones in the world, and gives the many decades of Finnish gaming history the surroundings it deserves

We have, for example, an arcade where you can play coin-operated games. You can also visit the room of a Commodore 64 enthusiast and play the NES games from the early 1990s in the home of an NES gamer.

The Finnish Museum of Games is the result of a collaborative project by the Media Museum Rupriikki housed in Vapriikki, Pelikonepeijoonit and the University of Tampere.
