An exhibition on videogames in the Rooms of the Arts of the Reggia di Venaria

The exhibition can be visited at the Sala delle Arti of the Reggia, and will be an opportunity to reflect on video games and their form. In fact, they present themselves as a perfect mix of architecture, painting, sculpture, music, performing arts, poetry, cinema and comics. Very different art forms, which coexist in the meta worlds made by the developers and loved and populated by the players.

Moreover, during the summer, the Reggia opens its doors also in the evening for the Summer Sere campaign at the Reggia. Thanks to the special hours it will be possible to visit it until 10.30 pm on every Friday and Saturdayuntil August 14.

During these evenings there will be music and dance appointments, in addition to Venaria Light Show – The Great Game, a “real” video game of interaction and creative cooperation, specially created for the Royal Palace. An ideal and interactive continuation of the exhibition.
