Description
The strong national museum of play will explore and share the history, influence, and experience of video games as they relate to culture, storytelling, human development, and the broader evolution of play through the design, fabrication, and implementation of a 24,000 square foot gallery-named digital worlds. IT will consist of complementary and cohesive interactive exhibition spaces that showcase the history of video games through the display of rare and unique historical artifacts including printouts of the first educational computer game and the prototypes for the recent toys-to-life video game skylanders; use of multiple media formats that allow guests to discover the impact of video games on society and culture; and interactive experiences that bring the history, art, and narrative structures of video games to life.
