Qatar Museums and 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum opened on Wednesday 'Esports A Game Changer Exhibition,' a first-of-its-kind exhibition that explores the evolution of competitive gaming from its niche origins to a thriving cultural economy that supports mainstream megaevents. This exhibition will be on view from 24 July to 8 September 2024 in Residence Citeaux: 45, Boulevard Diderot, Paris, France and will be on view in Doha, Qatar, in 2025.
Esports A Game Changer takes a sociological look at competitive gaming, defining it in relation to traditional sports and casual gaming, while looking at its governing organizations and economies. It also includes a history of esports, stretching back to the invention of the first electronic pinball machine a century ago, and presents snapshots of some of competitive gaming's biggest contemporary stars. The final part of the show looks at the future of esports in the gaming landscape and beyond, focusing on its societal, educational, recreational, and occupational implications.
