AFTER 12 YEARS, VIGAMUS IS EVOLVING: INTRODUCING GAMM - GAME MUSEUM

VIGAMUS Foundation :

4 November 2024, Rome: The team behind VIGAMUS The Video Game Museum of Rome has joined forces to create Kabuto, an innovative and tech-driven start-up founded by veterans of the entertainment industry to create, manage, and develop a new venture, GAMM - Game Museum. 

Located in the heart of Rome at Piazza della Repubblica, GAMM will launch on November 30, 2024, just after Checkpoint - Festival of Interactive Experiences taking place on 28 - 29 November at Casa del Cinema di Roma.

GAMM was born from the extraordinary success story of Vigamus – The Video Game Museum of Rome, which has hosted over two million visitors from around the world since its inception in 2012. Open 7 days a week, GAMM will span approximately 700 square meters, divided into two levels and three thematic areas. It offers an immersive and interactive journey through the world of video games, combining cutting-edge digital content with a collection of unique, valuable artifacts. It promotes the interactive medium as a form of cultural art and expression.

The museum is designed not only for video game enthusiasts but also for families, young people, tourists, schools, academies, and industry experts, and for anyone interested in discovering the unique cultural medium that has, over the years, captivated and moved people of all ages and backgrounds. 

Marco Accordi Rickards, Director of GAMM said: “GAMM - Game Museum aims to highlight the cultural and artistic value of video games as interactive works allowing visitors to immerse themselves in a path based on the combination of history, technology, and the exploration of gameplay.”
