In 1997, the Computerspielemuseum Berlin (Computer Games Museum Berlin) was opened as the first global collection on the digital entertainment culture. Unfortunately, the exhibition was closed in 2000 for the lack of space and funding. Finally, on 21 January 2011, the museum will be reopened by its founding director Andreas Lange at a new location.
In the former “Café Warschau” (Café Warsaw) in Berlin-Friedrichshain, many (including interactive) exhibits about computer games can be marveled at on 670 m². The collection includes some 22,000 computer games, more than 300 game consoles and computer systems, some 10,000 specialist magazines and not the least various media art objects.
