I wonder how they will decide what to showcase in the space. There are a lot of videogames to curate. 
Many Japanese game companies started with pornographic games and I wonder if that will be represented.

For me it would be a dream job being a curator of games art museum.  

I would put in Early Consoles and Arcade Machines, Original Concept Art, Interactive Exhibits, Game Design Documents, Virtual Reality Experiences, Soundtracks and Scores, Playable Prototypes and Beta Versions, Developer Interviews and Documentaries, Fan Art and Community Contributions, Contemporary Art Installations, 

Old cartridges & Pokemon cards, examples -
