+The National Videogame Museum is a video game museum about the history of video games and the video game industry, located in Frisco, Texas. Opened in 2016, the museum includes classic video game arcade machines in an arcade setting, games on different video game consoles in a living room setting, games on historic computers, exhibits on the history of the industry, artifacts and memorabilia about the video game industry. One of the museum's goals is to have visitors experience the games, so there are many interactive displays which feature playable games.
+
+
+== History ==
+Beginning in 1999, John Hardie, Sean Kelly and Joe Santulli hosted the first Classic Gaming Expo in Las Vegas to organize "the world's first event paying tribute to the people, systems and games of yesteryear". The Video Game Museum was a traveling exhibition of classic games and systems that was shown at the Expo, as well as displayed at such trade conventions as E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) and GDC (Game Developers Conference).
+In 2011, the founders started a Kickstarter campaign in an effort to mobilize their archive as a first step towards finding a permanent location, to be known as the Videogame History Museum.
+On September 18, 2014, the Frisco Community Development Corporation board voted unanimously to bring the Videogame History Museum to Frisco, Texas, although it was not their first choice. Their preferred location was Silicon Valley.
+The 10,400-square-foot (970 m2) National Videogame Museum opened in April 2016 in the Frisco Discovery Center.
+
+
+== Features ==
+
+The National Videogame Museum offers multiple exhibits that each focus on a different "stage" or aspect of video game history. This includes exhibits that focus on sound design in games, the video game crash of 1983, the rise of the home computer as well as the evolution of video game controllers, consoles, and more. The museum features elaborate showcases of particularly rare and popular gaming artifacts, such as Stadium Events and the Nintendo World Championships NES Cartridge, as well as rare special edition consoles, many of which had only a handful of units ever produced. The Museum also acts as a safe haven for all kinds of video game prototypes, including the only known prototype of the unreleased Sega Neptune ever created. The National Videogame Museum is notable for having one of the largest historical gaming archives in the world.
+Various game consoles are running around the Museum that attendees can sit down with and play at their leisure, or go head-to-head with one another, with a selection of games that typically rotates monthly. The National Videogame Museum also hosts a fully featured, 80's style classic gaming arcade that features games such as Pac-Man, Punch-Out!!, Donkey Kong, and many other classic arcade mainstays. There is also a giant-sized version of the game Pong that has earned the museum widespread acclaim.

+The Nikola Tesla Museum (Serbian: Музеј Николе Тесле, Muzej Nikole Tesle) is a science museum located in Belgrade, Serbia. It is dedicated to honoring and displaying the life and work of Nikola Tesla as well as the final resting place for Tesla. It holds more than 160,000 original documents, over 2,000 books and journals, over 1,200 historical technical exhibits, over 1,500 photographs and photo plates of original, technical objects, instruments and apparatus, and over 1,000 plans and drawings. Very little is on display in the small ground floor exhibition space.
+The Nikola Tesla Archive was inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme Register in 2003 due to its critical role regarding history of electrification of the world and future technological advancements in this area.
+
+
+== History ==
+The Nikola Tesla Museum is housed in a residential villa built in 1927 for Đorđe Genčić, according to the designs of Dragiša Brašovan, a distinguished Serbian architect. Following its confiscation by the new communist authorities in 1945 the building was used for various purposes until December 5, 1952, when the Nikola Tesla Museum was founded in accordance with the decision of the Government of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. Certain items for the museum were shipped from New York City to Belgrade, Yugoslavia, on September 7, 1951, as a result of efforts by Sava Kosanović, Tesla's nephew and closest relative and his attorney Philip Wittenberg.
+
+
+=== Exhibitions ===
+The permanent exhibition was arranged in 1955. It consists of four rooms on the ground floor. From time to time there have been some modifications, but for many years the basic concept has remained the same. Its first part is primarily a memorial exhibition, while the second part is an interactive one, with 3D computer generated models of Tesla's inventions. From time to time, the museum organizes thematic exhibitions of documents, photographs and other material in order to display some periods from Tesla's inventive life.
+
+
+=== Reconstruction ===
+Reconstruction of the Tesla Museum started on November 3, 2006. The first phase of the project was scheduled to have been complete by the end of 2006. The garden on the roof of the museum was designed to be enclosed by glass windows, which would turn the roof into a computer room. This reconstruction is now complete, and the museum is available to visit.

+The Tudor Museum (French: Musée Tudor), also known as Rosport Castle (French: Château de Rosport, Luxembourgish: Schlass vu Rouspert), is located in the little town of Rosport (Luxembourgish: Rouspert) in north-eastern Luxembourg. Built in 1892, it was the home of the Luxembourg inventor Henri Tudor. Since May 2009, the castle has housed the Tudor Museum.
+
+
+== Location ==
+The building is located not far from the Irminenhof and is surrounded by magnificent gardens. Locally it is known as the neit Schlass or new castle.
+
+
+== History ==
+During the German occupation of Luxembourg in the Second World War, the castle was used to accommodate girls assigned to the Reichsarbeitsdient who performed farming and house-keeping work. Around 1957, it became a guest house and, in 1964, the American firm Monsanto converted it into a hotel. However business was not very successful and in 1970, the Commune of Rosport bought the castle for its own administrative offices while continuing to rent out the first-floor apartments to vacationers. In 1972, these were replaced by a holiday home for old people.
+After restoration work was completed in 1999, serious consideration was given to opening a museum on the premises. In 1981, the celebrations for Tudor's 100th anniversary had included an exhibition on the development of the lead–acid battery, his principal success. Although the decision to go ahead with the museum was reached in 1995, many difficulties had to be overcome and it was only in May 2009 that the "Friends of the Henri Tudor Museum" were finally able to open it to the public.
+
+
+== The castle today ==
+In addition to the museum, the building houses the administrative offices of the commune of Rosport-Mompach. The museum itself is open all year round from Wednesday to Sunday, 2 pm to 6 pm. In July and August, it is also open on Monday and Tuesday afternoons.
