Musee de la Civilisation

Musee de la Civilisation (Museum of Civilisation) may have a fairly bland name, but it is certainly not boring. Using the latest media and technology, the museum tells its stories in interactive and fun ways. In Paris on Stage, 1889-1914, visitors are given headsets that play an entertaining soundtrack automatically as they move from room to room. This provides a ‘you-are-there’ experience that adds to the story. Video game lovers of all ages grin giddily when they visit the Game Story—an interactive exhibit dedicated to the story of video games. The exhibit details major developments in gaming. The best part is that visitors get to play video games from each era. Atari, Sega, Xbox…they’re all there to play and learn about.
