Games like Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption and Assassin’s Creed will be discussed for the first time in the Museum with ‘Other Places’. Curated by journalist, author and photographer Andy Kelly, Other Places is an exhibition of short films celebrating the artistry of videogame worlds and environments. 

Our curator, Emily Theodore Marlow, had the chance to chat with Andy Kelly about Other Places, its origins and how it was brought to life. Read all about it in Exploring Other Places with Andy Kelly.
