Pong and Minecraft Join 14 Classic Games in The Museum of Modern Art

The next time you go to New York City’s Museum of Modern Art to take in, say, a retrospective of Le Corbusier, you’ll be able to get up close and personal with one of the earliest home consoles ever made. And there’ll be Atari classics and a modern indie juggernaut waiting for you, too. MoMA has just announced that they’re adding to the Magnavox Odyssey console and six new titles to their already impressive roster of video games. https://kotaku.com/these-14-games-are-going-in-the-same-museum-as-van-gogh-5964328cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"609334564","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); Today, we are thrilled to announce the addition of one gaming console and six more video games to our collection.
