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 venture is the brainchild of Marco Accordi Rickards, a writer, journalist, professor, and CEO of Vigamus.

Rickards, a passionate advocate for preserving video game history and culture, describes GAMM as an immersive journey blending historical context, technological innovation, and interactive gameplay exploration. The museum builds upon the legacy of Vigamus, another successful Rome-based gaming museum that has attracted over two million visitors since 2012.

Spanning 700 square meters across two floors, GAMM is organized into three captivating thematic zones. Before delving into the specifics, take a sneak peek at the museum!

• GAMMDOME: This digital playground features interactive stations alongside authentic gaming artifacts, including consoles, donated items, and other historical objects. The experience is built around the 4E concept: Experience, Exhibition, Education, and Entertainment.
