  • This was my first time here. I am not a big art person. I appreciate it but standing for hours looking at one thing just not into it. Of course I do have ADD so it is possible for me to stair at the weirdest things for a while. I was here for a special reception for their new exhibit The Art of Video Games. So I didn't get to see the entire museum just this one section. The reception was for members, Mom is a member, and it was really nice. They had two catering tables set up with cheese, crackers, Swedish meatballs, roasted veggies, some sliced up wraps and little cakes. Everything was very good. Cash bar. That was a good idea too. I will say most of the members seemed to be much older people, which is no surprise extra money and lots of time on their hands, but it was funny to see them at a video game exhibit. Hey who would turn down free food and a cash bar. The exhibit itself was very interesting and definitely a trip down memory lane. It was about the evolution of home gaming consoles and computers games. They had four genres they concentrated on and showed how those genres evolved from the very first home console, the good old Atari, all the way through to the Xbox 360 and PS3. It was nice to see my old friend the Commodore 64 there. Many an hour on summer vacation was spent with one of those. It was interesting to see how they tried to bring early arcade games like Pac Man to the home console but had to make a lot of compromises to make it work and it was Pac Man but it just looked horrible but hey it was the first try so you have to give them a little bit of a break. I also didn't know that Doom II was the first "online" multiplayer game. Lots of interesting facts and also cool to see how games evolved. The curator of the exhibit was also there wandering around talking to people and explaining things. That added a lot to it. If you are a fan of video games you should go down and check it out. It is free on Wednesday and they are open until 9pm that day. I am glad my Mom took me to this. It was quite the experience. It even had my Mom wanting to play video games. This from the woman who hated them when I was growing up. Would much rather have us spend hours reading a book then glued to a computer screen. Being a school librarian didn't help either. Who once ripped the power cord out of the wall to get us to stop playing. So it must be a good exhibit if it got her excited about video games. Also check out the gift shop they have some great video game related gifts. The exhibit is only there until the end of September so don't miss out. Maybe some time I will go back to check out the rest of the museum. We will see.
