Tetris, Pac-Man and The Sims are some of the classic games that are housed within a building that also displays works by Vincent Van Gogh, Monet and Frida Kahlo. And while some may wonder that video games are even art, the museum is the incorporation of games in the installation design applied.

MoMA consulted academics, digital experts, historians and critics to select games for the gallery according to their aesthetic quality - including the programming language used to create them. MoMA curator for architecture and design Paola Antonelli, said that the material used to create games is important in the same way that the wood used to create a bank.

With that development, the games are presented in their original format, in the absence of consoles that are often defined. Some drivers can play with more complex, long lasting games like SimCity 2000 are presented as specially designed tours and demonstrations.


MoMA curatorial team specially adapted controls for each of the playable games, including a custom joystick created for the game Tetris.
