The Museu del Videojoc de Catalunya (MUVIC) is a cultural and museum project without its own museum premises, dedicated to preserving, studying and sharing video game history. Founded in Catalonia, the project takes a global view of video games and shares its collection through temporary and travelling exhibitions.
To preserve, study and share the international history of video games by conserving original systems and placing them in their historical, technological and cultural context, through a museum project founded in Catalonia with an international outlook.
To become a leading resource in Catalonia for studying, preserving and sharing the international history of video games, bringing together collecting, research, exhibitions and education, and contributing to a rigorous understanding of video games as a cultural, technological and social phenomenon.
MUVIC does not currently have its own museum premises. SuperBoniato Store provides us with an ongoing exhibition area inside its shop, at Carrer Pérez Galdós, 45, Barcelona.
This area serves as an ongoing meeting point for the project, allowing us to display a selection of the MUVIC collection throughout the year and develop exhibitions that share video game history.
Exhibitions change approximately every two to three months and explore specific video game themes from historical, technological and cultural perspectives. Each exhibition includes additional contextual materials, such as period advertisements, explanatory texts, videos and relevant games.
Admission to the exhibition area is free, and you can visit during SuperBoniato Store's opening hours.
Before you visit: this is not a standalone museum and the full collection is not on display. It is a small exhibition area inside the shop, presenting a changing themed selection from the collection.
