Preserving the Past, Inspiring the Future
The Manitoba Computer & Gaming Museum (MCGM) has launched with a mission to safeguard the history of computing and gaming, showcasing both Canadian and international advancements. A Community-Driven Initiative
Led by a diverse board of directors, with collaboration from the industry, academia, government, together with Indigenous and newcomer communities, the MCGM will offer seasonal exhibitions, educational classes, lectures, workshops, and fundraising events to provide hands-on experiences with retro computing. The museum plans to host "pop-up" events throughout Manitoba to raise awareness and gather donations of computers, consoles, and accessories, enriching its collection. Celebrating Unique Contributions
The museum will document not only global computing milestones but also Manitoba’s unique role in the industry. By sharing personal stories connected to historical technologies, the MCGM aims to illustrate how these innovations have shaped communities and lives. A Call for Support
As preparations for a physical launch in 2027 continue, the MCGM seeks partnerships with the provincial government and private organizations. The museum invites donors and supporters to contribute to its mission. Looking Ahead
With exciting pop-up activities on the horizon, the Manitoba Computer & Gaming Museum is set to become a vital educational resource. By honoring the past and inspiring future generations, the MCGM will celebrate the enduring legacy of computing and gaming history for years to come.
