Italy's GAMM Opens Doors to Gamers, Making History Shareable

Italy

Rome boasts Italy's largest video game museum! GAMM, the Game Museum, is now open to the public in Piazza della Repubblica. The museum is the creation of Marco Accordi Rickards, a writer, journalist, professor, and CEO of Vigamus.

Rickards is deeply committed to preserving and celebrating video game history. He describes GAMM as an immersive journey blending history, technology, and interactive gameplay. GAMM builds upon the legacy of Vigamus, another Roman gaming museum that has attracted over two million visitors since 2012.

The new museum spans 700 square meters across two floors and features three distinct thematic areas. Before exploring the specifics, take a quick virtual tour!

Exploring GAMM: A Look Inside

GAMMDOME: This interactive digital space blends historical gaming artifacts (consoles, donations, etc.) with modern technology. It's built around the 4 E Concept: Experience, Exhibition, Education, and Entertainment.

PARC (Path of Arcadia): Step back in time to the golden age of arcade games! Experience classic coin-op games from the late 1970s through the 1980s, with a touch of early 90s nostalgia.

HIP (Historical Playground): Dive deep into game design and mechanics. This area provides an in-depth look at game structure, interaction, and design principles – a behind-the-scenes exploration of gaming history.

GAMM is open Monday-Thursday, 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM, and Friday-Saturday until 11:30 PM. Tickets cost 15 euros. Visit the official GAMM website for more information.
