Strong National Museum of Play opening interactive D&D exhibit

Words:  Bea Mitchell
23rd August 2024

New show includes rare artefacts and immersive experiences

The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York is opening a 
Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) exhibit next month.

‘Dungeons & Dragons: 50 Years of Storytelling’ is launching at the 
Strong on 21 September and runs through January 2025.

The new exhibit will explore five decades of D&D through rare artefacts, 
prototypes, fantasy artwork and immersive experiences.

Guests will enjoy 20 immersive realms, each unveiling a chapter of D&D’s 
history, as well as interactive elements that bring the fantasy tabletop 
role-playing game to life.
Visitors can create their own characters, monsters and dungeons, take a 
quiz to find out their character class, and test their skills as a 
Dungeon Master in a campaign challenge.

Rare objects on display will include the first-edition D&D set, and the 
inaugural issue of Dragon magazine sent to co-creator Gary Gygax.

“Since its creation in 1974, Dungeons & Dragons has captured the 
imaginations of millions worldwide and paved the way for a new era of 
interactive storytelling and role-playing games,” said Jon-Paul Dyson, 
senior VP for exhibits and interpretive resources at the Strong National 
Museum of Play.

“This exhibit offers an exciting opportunity to explore the game’s rich 
history, showcasing the creativity and innovation that Dungeons & 
Dragons has inspired over the past 50 years.

“From the first-edition game and original artwork to iconic character 
designs and dungeon maps, visitors will see first-hand the game’s 
evolution and its lasting impact on popular culture.”

The Strong is the only collections-based museum in the world dedicated 
to the history and exploration of play.

Last year, the museum opened its 90,000-square-foot expansion, which 
boasts the world’s largest, playable Donkey Kong arcade machine.
