Musée du jeu vidéo, Video game museum at La Défense, France
This video game museum in Puteaux displayed gaming machines and accessories spanning several decades of play history. The space was organized into five thematic areas that honored both French and international game creators.
The museum opened in 2010 following a successful retro gaming exhibition from the year before. That earlier show had demonstrated strong public interest in gaming history.
The exhibition showed how video game characters influence film and music in ways visitors could experience through multimedia displays. People could see the connections between gaming culture and broader creative industries.
The museum is centrally located at La Défense, the major business district near Paris, and is easily reached by public transit. Visitors should plan to arrive during daytime hours to explore the halls with natural light.
Visitors could play on consoles and explore over 200 pieces ranging from classic arcade games to systems from different eras. This hands-on gaming experience set the museum apart from typical static exhibitions.
