Video Games & Music

The music where you are the hero

From 2 April to 1 November 2026

For the first time, an exhibition traces the fascinating history of the links between music and video games, from the 8-bit era to symphony orchestras.

In half a century, video game music has become a global phenomenon. Embedded in the life journeys of several generations, it accompanies both intimate narratives and collective adventures. Long limited to a few functional beeps, video game music – or VGM for “Video Game Music” – has grown with technology, to become a rich, demanding, and inventive creative field. It calls upon the symphony orchestra as much as the most experimental electronics, explores all musical genres, and embodies a singular form: that of music that is not content to be listened to but is played, experienced, lived. The player becomes a trigger, an actor, a musician.

Inspired by the structure of video games, the exhibition unfolds like an open world, inviting each visitor to choose their progression through a dynamic landscape mixing sound, music, and game. The space is organised into several themes, each offering modules and interactive stations. Around twenty playable games are deployed throughout a journey enriched with artworks, consoles, instruments, photographs, and audiovisual content.

Welcome to the exhibition where you are the hero.
