GAME STATION muzeum her Cibien's Corner
About This Museum
Tucked away in Plzeň, GAME STATION feels less like a formal institution and more like a pilgrimage site for the digital generation. It’s a space that vibrates with the quiet hum of cathode-ray tubes and the tactile click of decades-old joysticks. You don't just see the history here; you pick up a controller and feel it in your hands, from the chunky cartridges of the 80s to the sleek consoles of today. The sheer breadth is staggering, a sprawling testament to an art form that grew up in living rooms and arcades.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the museum is its 'playable history' ethos, where you can challenge a friend on an original Pong unit or get lost in the sprawling worlds of a PlayStation. A particularly striking exhibit is Cibien's Corner itself, a meticulously recreated 1990s Czech bedroom complete with period-appropriate posters, a bulky CRT television, and the distinct smell of old electronics—it’s a time capsule of adolescent wonder.
Visitor Information
It's located right on Štefánikovo Náměstí, easy to find but easy to lose an entire afternoon in. Come ready to play, not just look; this is a hands-on experience where high scores are encouraged.
Architecture & Building
Housed in what feels like a repurposed urban building, the exterior gives little away. Inside, it's all curated chaos—a labyrinthine space where dark rooms are punctuated by the glow of screens, with consoles stacked on shelves and arcade cabinets arranged like monuments.
