The Finnish Museum of Games, Game museum in Vapriikki Museum Centre, Tampere, Finland
The Finnish Museum of Games exhibits one hundred Finnish games, including board games, digital titles, role-playing games, and traditional entertainment forms through the centuries.
Founded in 2017 through crowdfunding that raised 85,860 euros from 1,120 supporters, including major contributions from Finnish game development companies Supercell and Housemarque.
The museum features themed rooms representing different decades since 1980, complete with period-accurate gaming setups and reconstructions of gaming stores.
Visitors can play 85 digital games, use arcade machines, and participate in gaming marathons, seminars, and e-sports events at the museum.
Museum staff recorded thirty-minute interviews with forty game developers, creating a video archive documenting the Finnish gaming industry development.
