We will be transforming the historic space into a pop-up cinema with a huge screen, beanbags, popcorn and the ultimate hit list of our favourite gaming flicks, with an hour of game play screening prior to each session.

Featuring cult classics such as Super Mario Bros, TRON and Jumanji (1995), to family favourites like Pokémon Detective Pikachu, Ralph Breaks the Internet, and contemporary must-see Mortal Kombat (2021).

Bring the family along to our daytime screenings, or experience the Museum after dark at one of our evening screenings. We'll have special food and drink offers, with yummy snack packs for the kids with popcorn, chocolate, juice and a donut; or for evening sessions, a bar for the adults with all of your movie snack favourites!

Sit back, relax under Otto the blue whale and enjoy this gaming marathon.
