The Atari 2600, originally called the Atari VCS, is considered the godfather of home video game systems. Atari sold more than 30 million of the consoles and, together with other companies, sold hundreds of millions of games. Cartridges for the system were produced across three decades and continue to be purchased today.

Part of California: Designing Freedom (May to October 2017)
“Designed in California” is the new “Made in Italy”. While California’s mid-century modernism is well documented, this is the first exhibition to examine its current global reach. Picking up the story in the 1960s, the exhibition charts the journey from the counterculture to Silicon Valley’s tech culture.
