The largest museum dedicated to video games in the world will open in Paris!

It's the story of a video game lover whose dreams, as big as his passion, are about to come true. This story is that of Tev, a French YouTuber who is about to realize a crazy project: that of opening the largest museum in the world dedicated to video games in the Paris region.

Everything starts from the immense collection of Ludovic Charles, a video game enthusiast who has accumulated over 20 years more than 2,200 video game consoles and accessories. It became so imposing that it became difficult to store it, leaving the collector facing a two-way dilemma: part with it or exhibit it in a museum. This is how the Odyssey project was born, aiming to build a video game museum in France.

So, he launched a prize pool with an ambitious goal of 50,000 euros. A sum that would make it possible to design a temporary exhibition to present this vast collection to the general public. Immediately, Tev made a video presenting the project to his community of more than a million subscribers. And there, things get out of hand: the 50,000 euros threshold is reached in just a few minutes, while 500,000 euros are collected in two days. Currently, more than 2.2 million euros have been raised, making the Odyssey project the largest crowdfunding project in French history. The enthusiasm was such that the President of the Republic himself gave his support to the project through a video.

The museum will therefore see the light of day in Bussy Saint-Georges. Its opening is planned for 2026 within a gigantic complex of several thousand m². And you can count on us to keep you informed of each of the project's progress, as we impatiently await its opening!
