Oh I'd like to see a deep dive with @hypergames.no about their wonderful Moonmin videogames!
Four cute stickers: 1. A medieval lady being burned at the stake with the caption 'god forbid women do anything', 2. Cowplant from The Sims, 3. Pink Tamagotchi, 4. Yelliw Duck gardening in a cartoon green house.

Fun whistlestop tour of #EGX & #MCM today! As always the highlights for me were the lovely videogames on showcase in the #LeftfieldCollection and #GameRepublic Zone (and the many stickers I purchased in Artist Alley...).
A small paper note held up in a classroom that reads 'we loved it, thank you NVM. Even though you had a sore throat you did great.'
I also have to give a special mention to the very sweet notes from two students who let me know that I did well despite my sore throat. 😭💖 Thanks again to @michellegrant.bsky.social for bringing your class along!

We had such a fun #TakeoverDay with @st-marys.bsky.social this afternoon! Super excited about their visit to us and we had some brilliant ideas for future games and exhibits in the Museum Makers Workshop they took part in!
Looking forward to next year @kidsinmuseums.bsky.social @nvmuk.bsky.social!

Really looking forward to welcoming @st-marys.bsky.social to the museum on Friday for KIMs #TakeoverDay 2026! Excited to see the ideas their mini-curators will come up with for videogames in museums... 👾🎮

With the London Marathon this Sunday (eek), I just wanted to share my fundraiser again! I'm not far off my goal to support @nvmuk.bsky.social so huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far! ✨👾
Please support if you can, share and pray my knees make it through the #LondonMarathon on Sunday! 🏃♀️
Our amazing Learning Officer, @leaheline.bsky.social is taking on the 2025 London Marathon and she’s doing it to raise vital funds for the NVM!
She’s putting in the miles to support our work preserving gaming history, delivering educational programmes, and our outreach projects.
I'm running the London Marathon 2025! It's only a month away now and I'm running in support of our wonderful museum @nvmuk.bsky.social ✨ It would be lovely if you could share and support! 🏃♀️
This free event presented the ideal CPD (Continuing Professional Development) opportunity for professionals as well as being able to play together (and compete too!) in the Museum’s gallery of over 100 playable games and interactive exhibits.
