Quotes:
"The Museum of Industry is known for sharing the history of classic Nova Scotia trades, but its newest exhibit explores a more recent industry here – one that's planted firmly in the virtual realm! Our gaming columnist Erin MacInnis took a trip to Stellarton to learn all about it." - CBC
Exhibits:
"Game Changers is a highly interactive and immersive travelling exhibition
exploring how innovation has shaped gameplay in video gaming systems and
transformed the way we interact with technology."
