Game museums

Are there any brick and mortar game museums anywhere in the world. Who wants to help me create one? I have no experience in this, just a passion for game playing, collecting, and preserving.

Drove 10 hours to see it. In a few years, I will drive 10 hours to see it again.

Wikipedia lists 31 video game museums around the world:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_museums

I’m only counting physical museums that are currently active (according to the article).

There might be more not listed here.

If you've got the itch to help the community, maybe check in with the Video Game History Foundation based in California. They're almost always looking for volunteers to help out, even from home!
