The Art of Video Games opened yesterday and as part of our opening festivities GameFest is well underway this weekend. We will be posting images throughout the day.

There are a number of game consoles available for play in our Kogod Courtyard. This man is trying his hand at Space Channel 5. First released in 2000 here in the States, Space Channel 5 was a music video game, a contemporary of Dance, Dance Revolution.

GameFest continues all day today, capping off with a presentation of the film The King of Kong: A Fist Full of Quarters tonight at 7. Tickets are free, first come, first served, and will be available at the G Street entrance to the museum starting at 6:30.
