Following countrywide business lockdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic, the UK?s National Videogame Museum (NVM) had no choice but to shut its doors in March. The resulting revenue loss spelled doom for the museum, prompting organizer British Games Institute to start a fundraiser (via JustGiving) for outside support. In the end, it seems the tireless efforts have paid off in spades. The fundraiser brought in about £200,000 from more than 800 supporters, well over two times the original fundraising goal of £80,000. Moreover, the museum will reopen for business this weekend on August 22nd.
To ensure the safety of staff members and visitors, the museum is implementing several precautions. According to GamesIndustry.biz, these safety measures include, but are not limited to: sanitization procedures, encouraging reservations, allowing in only a select number of visitors at once, and enforcing face mask mandates.
