Not all museums display only Renaissance paintings and sculptures of Greek gods. When travelers are planning their visit to Washington, D.C., this spring, they may want to take some time to explore the new exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution's American Art Museum to learn about the history of video games.
This unique display of a video game timeline includes game consoles, screenshot images and other fun exhibit features, reports Discovery News. There may be a hot debate over if video games are an art form or not, and this demonstrations leaves it up to guests to decide.
