OXO Museo: Málaga’s ultimate level-up for gamers (and the curious)
Whether you’re a joystick veteran or just curious why people scream at blue shells in Mario Kart, OXO Museo del Videojuego is the place to go. Located right in the heart of Málaga, this museum is a love letter to video games—from pixelated pioneers to virtual reality dreams.
Spoiler: you don’t need to be a gamer to have fun here.
🎮 From Pong to PlayStation 5: a timeline you can actually touch
The permanent exhibition at OXO is more than nostalgia—it’s a walk through gaming history that hits harder than a Street Fighter combo.
You’ll find:
- The original Pong machine
- Retro arcade cabinets
- A giant playable Game Boy
- Consoles from the 1950s to today
Everything is curated to show not just the games, but how they shaped culture, tech, and childhoods around the world.
🕹️ And yes—you can actually play
This isn’t one of those “look but don’t touch” museums. At OXO, the motto is: pick up the controller.
Interactive zones let you:
- Replay classics from the golden age
- Dive into VR simulations that feel straight out of a sci-fi movie
- Compete, laugh, scream, and remember why games bring people together
Whether you’re 10 or 50, the fun is real.
🧠 Special exhibitions that go deep
Beyond the main collection, OXO hosts rotating exhibitions that shine a spotlight on game changers (literally). Right now, the focus is on Dinamic, the Spanish video game company that helped define a generation of European players.
These limited-time showcases keep the experience fresh—so every visit has something new to unlock.
🚀 OXO Labs: where gaming meets the future
Curious about where gaming is headed? That’s what OXO Labs is for.
This part of the museum explores:
- Game development
- Innovation in design
- AI, VR, and experimental tech
- Workshops and masterclasses
It’s a lab, yes—but one with pixels, prototypes, and passion.
🍽️ Bonus level: rooftop drinks with a view
After you’ve crushed some high scores, head up to La Terraza Catedral, the rooftop restaurant with jaw-dropping views of the city and Málaga Cathedral.
- Great cocktails
- Quality food
- And yes—you can go even if you don’t visit the museum (just use the independent entrance)
Pro tip: go at sunset. Thank us later.
