When did the GAMM Game Museum open?
The museum’s official inauguration took place on 30 November 2024. ANSA reported the planned opening two days earlier, describing GAMM as a museum spread across about 700 square meters and two levels, with more than 120 screens. Those figures describe the venue at launch, not a current screen count. ANSA’s opening report
What can you see and do inside?
GAMM presents video game history as something to explore and play, rather than only a static display. Its ground-floor exhibition follows thematic and chronological areas, with consoles and games from different periods available to visitors. The museum says its exhibition includes 150 screens and thousands of objects. Separately, it describes more than 120 interactive screens; these are distinct descriptions on the current site, not a single figure that should be combined. GAMM Game Museum
