MUVIC at SuperBoniato Store
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 include contextual materials such as advertisements, explanatory texts, videos and relevant objects to explore video games as a cultural, technological and social phenomenon.
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.

Donation · May 2025
Mattel Electronics Football I
MUVIC has received a Football I from the Mattel Electronics series, donated by Miguel Gallego. It is one of the handheld electronic games produced between 1976 and 1978.
It all began with the iconic Auto Race, but Mattel quickly expanded the range with numerous models, many based on different sports.
These devices represent the early beginnings of the handheld electronic game, many years before Nintendo's Game & Watch series and the later Game Boy. They hold a significant place in the history of video games and electronic entertainment.
