The National Video Game Museum, located in Frisco, Texas, is a wonderful land of magical retro and vintage games rescued from the basements of former children around the world. However, unlike most museums, it allows you touch things, as explained in their mission statement:
Video games are meant to be played and this is the thinking behind every museum exhibition. This means that we will do everything we can to allow museum owners to actually PLAY as many games as possible during their visit to the National Museum of Video Games.
Sounds like our kind of museum. But now we all have the chance to be a part of it forever, by sending us Animal Crossing: New Horizons islands to NVM’s “Animal Crossing Diaries,” where he hopes to document the response to COVID-19 as happened in Tom Nook’s small slice of sky.
It is no surprise that the cultural moment that was Animal Crossing during a pandemic is worthy of a museum: we had celebrities who go crazy for the game (they are just like us!), Companies from IKEA to LEGO that recreate their products in AC: The NH world and creative innovators who design in-game wrinkles, vitiligo and stretch marks to better represent the diversity of its players.
You can send your island and / or answer a few questions to the National Videogame Museum on their special Animal Crossing website and while there is no guarantee that it will enter the final exhibition, it is your chance to be part of history. (and show) of the lush landscape)!
