Welcome to Game On!
Embark on a nostalgic odyssey through the pixelated past and into the high-definition future at our interactive exhibition, “Game On: The Evolution of Video Games”.

As you take in the exhibit, engage with the actual consoles that sparked revolutions in living rooms worldwide.

Interactive displays invite you to play iconic titles, while ambient soundscapes of 8-bit tunes and triumphant fanfares transport you through gaming’s golden ages. A chronological journey from the birth of video gaming.
Local voices add a personal touch, sharing anecdotes and memories that resonate with the collective gamer spirit. Rare memorabilia, concept art, and developer interviews offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creative processes that fuelled our digital dreams.
