Rome's newest and largest video game museum, GAMM (Game Museum), has officially opened its doors to the public! Located in Piazza della Repubblica, this exciting new museum is the creation of Marco Accordi Rickards, a writer, journalist, professor, and CEO of Vigamus.
Rickards, a passionate advocate for preserving video game history, describes GAMM as an immersive journey blending history, technology, and interactive gameplay. The museum builds upon the legacy of Vigamus, another successful Rome-based gaming museum that has attracted over two million visitors since 2012.
Spread across 700 square meters on two floors, GAMM is divided into three captivating thematic zones. Before we delve into the specifics, take a peek at the museum!
