Gamers win chance to enjoy after-hours visit to exhibition
Youngsters earned exclusive V&A night in Courier contest
A group of lucky gamers enjoyed a money-can’t-buy Night Out At The Museum after entering The Courier’s competition to receive an exclusive evening at V&A Dundee.
Winners Louise Brooks and Luke Rutherford took five friends each to see the museum’s Videogames: Design/Play/Disrupt exhibition afterhours after correctly identifying the museum’s opening date as September last year.
As well as enjoying the exhibition, which features world-class video games such as The Last Of Us, Splatoon 2 and No Man’s Sky alongside unique DIY arcade cabinets, the youngsters were treated to food at V&A Dundee’s Tatha Bar overlooking the Tay.
Louise took pals Nieve Gritten, Adin Barr, Lexi Wilson, Philip Ratajczak and Alex Wilson, while Luke took friends Oscar Dubiel, Jayden Sung, Caiden Anderson, Owen Cummings and Oliver Forbes.
While the opportunity to get into the award-winning museum after-hours has passed, the Videogames: Design/ Play/Disrupt exhibition is still on for a limited time, coming to an end on Sunday.
It will also bring the curtain down on Dundee’s Summer of Games.
It is being followed by Hello, Robot, Design Between Human and Machine from November 2 to February 8.
Next year’s main exhibitions start from April 4 until September 6, with a retrospective on Dame Mary Quant, the fashion icon whose work captured the spirit of the swinging ’60s.
From October 31 2020 until February 14 2021, the museum will be home to an exhibition called Night Fever: Designing Club Culture – an exploration of six decades of the nightclub scene.
