Post by: Muerto on December 27, 2009, 06:23:58 PM

This summer, me and 4 friends went to the Danish arcade museum in Ikast Denmark.
The pictures from the trip is on a HD thats is being recovered atm.   :'( :'(
so instead of boring you with pictures from my camera, heres the link (http://www.playright.dk/museumgalleri2.php?id=70&start=1) to the museums website of the 2008 opening.

Wow, my dream !

I'm very interested how this is financed etc. (I read Danish well enough to see entree is gratis :D
I've actually been thinking about something like that for Holland too. Are they subsedized in any way or is it private owned ?

Their site seriously needs an English translation.

hello all, long time lurker from Denmark, i just wanted to add this tidbit about the museum, the founders were a father and son and some of their friends, they have an gigantic collection, many of their machines are from funfairs, and a local amusement park...
I've been and seen their collection a couple of times, its fantastic to see.

They even have a Dragons Lair machine on display  :D
(and as far as i can remember they have amoungst many others a working g-loc and r360 but not on display)
