The Art of Video Games
Washington, DC | Through 9/30
Gaming has been steadily evolving for more than two generations now, but it's probably fair to say that a genre has reached maturity when it has its own Smithsonian show. "The Art of Video Games" explores the evolution of game design and culture with an interactive gallery of more than 80 revolutionary (at the time) game titles, including "Pac-Man," "Super Mario Brothers," "The Secret of Monkey Island," "Myst" and "Flower." The exhibition's opening weekend has been dubbed GameFest, with panel discussions and Q&A sessions with game designers and artists.
