an archway made of marble leads you into an all-white room with greco-roman features. pillars stretch up and elongate the room's already tall ceilings, which give room for a central atrium. smaller pillars are scattered throughout the room, acting as display cases of sorts; each topped with items that symbolize a video game that has touched the curator's life. a label shares a short opinion or thought about each game.
