A museum to experience
The GAMM is unique in Italy, a space dedicated to the history and evolution of video games, designed for enthusiasts, families, the curious, and new generations.
During the evening, visitors can explore the museum’s exhibition, composed of thematic and chronological areas that recount over 50 years of interactive exhibits through 150 monitors, thousands of original consoles, video games, historical materials, and playable stations.
Visitors will be able to play freely on historic and modern consoles, experience the authentic atmosphere of an ’80s arcade in the Arcade Room, and visit the Experience Room, which hosts temporary exhibitions, next-gen stations, a VR area, and video content dedicated to gaming culture.
