Get ready to play your way through the history of video games at the international blockbuster exhibition Game On at the State Library of Queensland. This action-packed celebration of video games culture has thrilled more than one million players of all ages around the world. This summer it’s coming to Brisbane.

Exhibited earlier this year in Melbourne with record crowds, Game On tracks the development of video games from the first computer game to arcade-era hits and the very latest from today’s billion-dollar industry. With more than 100 playable games, as well as rarely seen consoles, controllers and collectables, this is a showcase of games history like no other.

This exhibition is organised and toured by Barbican Art Gallery which is owned and funded by the City of London Corporation.
