The Art of Video Games

So say what you want about video games they are the favorite pastime for many.  The Phoenix Art Museum is having a great exhibit titled The Art of Video Games.  Me and Payton went down for a visit.  One of the nice things about the part of town we live in is that we are a very short walk to the light rail that takes you right to the Museum.
I made Payton stop and take a portrait shoot, he wasn't very happy. haha.

Waiting and reading about the exhibit.

We finally made it to the exhibit.  It was $20.00 for both of us to get in, Which I think was a great price for all the fun things you can do, We got to play video games for free and see all the cool things that go into making video games and the art behind it.


















It was cool they had 10-20 stations like this that all the original gaming systems up to now.  They also had a few images and details about the system.  It was really cool to see the progress that games have made up to today.




This is one of my favorite pieces in the museum.  It is huge hanging piece of burnt wood all combined together with fishing wire.  They also have some really cool interactive pieces too.  It has a great diversity of all forms of art.

The Phoenix Art Museum building is very nice.  It has a courtyard with many different sculptures and grassy areas.  Payton really liked the red dinosaur that was outside the front doors.



 We had to stop at city scape on the way home to cool off.  Got to love living in Phoenix.
