Videotopia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Originally the brainchild of Keith Feinstein, Videotopia is a travelling science museum exhibition documenting the entire history of video games. It is the most comprehensive such exhibit currently in existence, encompassing not only every significant commercial video arcade machine and game console ever produced, but also interactive multimedia kiosks containing information about the history of the games' development and their impact on popular culture.

Videotopia is currently operated by Feinstein's longtime curatorial partner Jeff Anderson, who maintains the exhibit's vast game collection, based in New Jersey. Videotopia has been featured at numerous science museums in the U.S., such as the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, as well as overseas and in selected performances of Video Games Live. Videotopia has been featured on television on CBS: This Morning, the History Channel, CNN, CNBC, and many local television news programs and written about in Forbes Magazine, USA Today, MIT Technology Review, TICKET, Next Generation and more^{[citation needed]}.
