Video Game Museum of Rome, Video game museum in Rome, Italy
The Video Game Museum of Rome is a specialized museum in the city dedicated to the history and development of video games. The exhibition spans two floors with playing stations, interactive screens, and original devices from different eras.
The museum was founded in 2012 as Italy's first video game museum and is run by the Fondazione Vigamus. Since then it has continuously expanded its collection to document how games and technology evolved over the decades.
The museum shows how video games became part of Italian popular culture and what role they play in people's lives today. The exhibition tells this story through original games, consoles, and personal objects from developers.
The museum is located on Via Sabotino in central Rome and is easily accessible by public transport. It's best to set aside enough time to explore the space and try the interactive stations yourself.
The museum has a special section called GammDome with interactive stations where game developers and industry professionals share their work and thoughts directly. This makes the visit special because visitors get to know the people behind the games.
