Planning your visit

OXO Málaga opened in 2023 as a companion to the Madrid museum, and it covers seventy years of video game history through playable hardware rather than display cases.

Consoles, home computers, arcade cabinets and virtual reality stations run chronologically, and most can be played, which is the point — the collection is a machine for demonstrating how games and their controls evolved.

The Spanish dimension is genuine: the 1980s golden age of Spanish software produced games for the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad that sold across Europe, an episode almost unknown outside the country, and the museum documents it.

The rooftop terrace overlooks the city, which is an unusual amenity for a museum of this type.

Málaga has become a museum city over the past two decades — the Picasso, the Pompidou branch, the Carmen Thyssen — and this is the popular-culture counterweight. Allow two hours or more. Current availability is listed below.
